In this solo episode of Art & Cocktails , I’m (Ekaterina Popova) celebrating my nine-year self-employment anniversary—marking the moment I walked out of my corporate job and committed to building a life as a full-time artist and creative entrepreneur. This conversation blends personal storytelling with practical strategies for artists who are just starting out, those in the thick of building, and anyone dreaming of making their creative practice sustainable. I share what worked for me when I had fewer than 300 followers, no gallery representation, and no real roadmap—just passion, urgency, and the willingness to figure it out. You’ll hear what helped me sell my first artworks, grow beyond friends and family, and start showing up professionally long before I felt “ready.” Topics include: How I made my first sales with a small audience What to post and how to talk about your work Why local shows and early wins deserve celebration How I began getting noticed by curators and galleries What I did to prepare for opportunities before they happened Why I built Create! Magazine to support other artists like me The shift from doing everything to scaling through systems Why you don’t need to go viral to succeed How creative leadership changed my business and energy I also talk about growing Create U, embracing structure as a form of freedom, and what I’ve learned about building a business that allows for rest, alignment, and long-term joy—not just hustle.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Emily McElwreath—art advisor, independent curator, educator, and host of The Art Career Podcast . With nearly two decades of experience, Emily has worked with some of the most influential figures in the art world, from Andy Warhol to Alice Neel. She shares how artists can reclaim their power, normalize ambition, and take control of their careers. We also explore what collectors are looking for today, how to navigate the art market, and the evolving role of art advisors. Emily offers practical networking strategies for artists and industry leaders, insights on working with high-profile guests, and details on her recent Art21 collaboration. Plus, she introduces her must-have resource for emerging artists, Navigating the Art World: A Practical Guide for Artists . Whether you’re an artist looking to elevate your career or a collector seeking guidance, this episode is filled with expert insights and actionable strategies to help you thrive. Key Takeaways: Artists must reclaim their power—they are at the center of the art ecosystem. Ambition is not a dirty word—owning your career is essential for success. Networking isn’t about chasing opportunities—it’s about building authentic relationships. Art collectors should buy what they love but also stay informed about the market. The art world is unregulated, making it crucial to work with trusted advisors. Artists should not rely solely on galleries—direct sales and relationships matter. Emily’s free artist guide, Navigating the Art World , is a must-have resource for emerging artists. Sound Bites: 🎙️ "Artists need to understand they are at the center of the ecosystem—it’s not the other way around." 🎙️ "You don’t have to wait for permission—take the wheel and create your own opportunities." 🎙️ "The best collections are built with a mix of passion, education, and a long-term vision."
