About Be Smart About Art
After 7+ years of an active program combining face-to-face and online engagement with thousands of awesome creative professionals, we've pivoted to Patreon. This means that our online "home" now exists within a creative platform, and our intention as a socially-minded enterprise is that many members of our community will set up Patreon pages, too. Win-win!

- Freely available content: Blog posts, videos, and more.
- #BSAA Professionals' Community: #MemberMasterclasses, video replays, member-only Facebook Group, discounts from BSAA Partners.

About BE SMART ABOUT ART:
In 2012, Susan started the program in response to a rapidly changing industry. Artists weren't sure about navigating a landscape in which they could put themselves out into the world and galleries/dealers were starting to reinvent themselves to continue to stay relevant in a changing field. Today, there's ongoing tension between the 20th vs 21st Century approaches, and we're here to provide insight and support into business, the inner workings of the art world and to foster community, a key ingredient to success.
We are:
Susan J Mumford // Founder
Anna Jaxe // Digital Marketing Maven
Paul Holmes // Accounting Manager
BSAA Ambassadors:
Deborah "Debs" Henry-Pollard / London, UK region
Here's a visual of the developing program with BSAA 2.0:
