About Me

The Artist Initiative, Inc. is a global network designed to connect performance and visual artists with the resources that will help them build wealth. We define an artist as an entrepreneur who uses their creative talents to deliver a unique product or an intangible service. We are the founders of the Wealthy Artist(r) Conference and Seminar Series, a national effort designed to eliminate the "starving artist" syndrome.
Our member-bassed network links artists with vital information and contacts, and helps create long-term strategis to build wealth (as well as pay bills).
Our mission: "NO MORE STARVING ARTISTS!"
