We are super excited to help you, wherever you are in your artistic journey. Whether you are an accomplished or aspiring artist, we are here for you!
Art Side of Life started as a YouTube show and podcast.
Iva loves learning from others by listening to podcasts and watching YouTube videos with inspirational people.
She discovered there is not much of the content created about and for the artists. It was this desire, why Art Side of Life was born. Iva decided to create a place that would allow people around the world to have access to stories, tips, ideas, and concepts of accomplished artists. Place where we inspire each other, learn from each other and improve every day together.
MISSION:
To help artists, both accomplished and aspiring, to improve their art skills and make a living from what makes them happy.
Art Side of Life evolved into a learning platform where artists find resources to improve their art skills and learn how to make money from what makes them happy.
Whether you want to stay up to date, motivated or just not sure which way to go in your art journey, this is the place for you. We want to show you different ways how to make money as an artist. Whether it is working for an animation or gaming studio, getting a freelance artist job, selling your art in galleries or being a creative entrepreneur.
VISION:
There are endless possibilities to living a creative life.
You should know that you are not alone in this journey of becoming a great artist, a someone who is passionate about their purpose in life.
Never stop improving and let’s help each other succeed.
