My Qualifications ~ A Brief Description
For 30+ years I’ve had the pleasure of a multi-faceted career that has given me an in-depth knowledge of the art business. I have served as an art marketing consultant, mentor, curator, arts writer and arts advocate in NYC, NY. I founded and operated a major NYC art magazine, Manhattan Arts International, for 17 years. I’m the author of several art business books (in print and ebooks), have presented talks and keynote speeches in many leading art institutions (museums, colleges, and arts organizations), and have curated more than 100 exhibitions (in public spaces and online). I am the founder, director and curator of Manhattan Arts International and The Healing Power of ART & ARTISTS. I studied art at the Art Students League and other NYC art schools. I’ve served as an advisor and member on the Board of Directors of several arts organizations. To read a longer bio go here.
Comments I’ve Received from Coaching Clients
“Renée Phillips is not only incredibly knowledgeable in her field of expertise, she is also life changing in the direction of my art career. She helped me establish my creative goals, career goals and financial goals and expanded the horizon in all directions of what is possible for me as an artist. She truly cares for the growth of each artist in a realistic, objective and achievable way. Renée is a superb mentor!” ~ Denisa Prochazka
“I worked with Renée Phillips for three coaching sessions. It was great to have Renée review my website, social media, e-news, correspondence and goals. She had incredibly helpful suggestions. Each session I walked away with a practical to-do list that I could see would help me toward my goal of creating a sustainable full-time artistic career. She was generous with information and I could tell she really thought about my work, goals and me when suggesting potential avenues for me to explore. Probably the most important piece I gained was the “people power list” which I’m putting in to action now. I would highly recommend Renee as a coach. She was easy to work with and kept me moving, which is exactly what I wanted and needed.” ~ Melissa Dorn Richards
