Jimmie Wright
I'm an advertising and marketing professional with over 20 years in the gallery system. I help artists survive in the art world without losing their minds or their identities. And I help artists network and sell their work online.

Where I'm From
I've spent about 25 years in the Art industry (not including childhood and selling my art before I could legally work). I've directed a seven-figure a year gallery, and curated and consulted for museums and non-profit art venues. I've lugged stuff from town to town for expos and festivals, and everything in between.
And whenever new artists would come to me or my partners looking for a little bump, I'd always be shocked at how completely clueless and/or terrified they were at managing and promoting themselves. Even some of the “pro artists” were scared of computers and clearly had a little nephew “running” that end of the business.

Where I Am
I run The Art Anchor — a place for the creative community to get the skills they need to become better promoters, better writers, and better lovers of art, so they can survive, thrive, and make a real living from their creativity.
If you're in the industry: I'm a social media professional who still runs events in Atlanta. I most recently did a Juneteenth event in Grant Park. I can also provide your business with social media, marketing and automation.
I also have a workshop called Starving Sucks — my premiere course. I run it live, and it's a three-hour session that will get you more excited about your art life and career than you've been in years.
Mission
Sell your art. Make people jealous. Rule the world. The Art Anchor is about giving the creative community the skills they need — so they can survive, thrive, and make a real living from their creativity.

Where I'm Going
I'm building the complete system: courses, one-on-one coaching, workshops, and done-for-you lead generation. I use my years of experience and extremely well-honed marketing skills to help you build confidence in your work, share your art online, and find collectors and community.
