What office hours or classes should I attend to actually learn how to market my art?

Start by attending daily office hours sessions. Look for experienced coaches who can audit what you currently have, triage your situation, and give you personalized guidance. Be direct: tell them you need help learning to market, that you haven’t been doing it, and ask them to help you get plugged back in. The reality is that learning to market is unavoidable suffering—it’s not native to artists, you won’t enjoy it, but you must learn it because it’s the only thing that actually moves the needle. There’s no shortcut. However, with practice it gets easier every day, and when things start clicking, it transforms your business. Consistent attendance at training sessions combined with actually implementing what you learn is the path forward.
