Honest conversations about the realities of being a working artist.

There are endless resources available for painting techniques — but far fewer spaces to talk honestly about the day-to-day realities of an artistic life. As if we “only” had to paint!

Fresh Impressions is a monthly webinar series created for artists who want practical conversations about navigating a creative career: juried shows, travel, studio organization, social media, community, AI tools, and everything in between.

Hosted by Board Secretary Chris Rapa AIS and Julie Davis AIS, each session features candid discussion, guest artists and experts, audience Q&A, and actionable takeaways designed to support artists at every stage of their journey.  

This is not about how to paint. It’s about how to BE a practicing artist.
