Shoebox Arts exists because too many talented artists are navigating the art world alone. We build the infrastructure so you don't have to.
Everything we offer comes from the same place: artists need community, practical knowledge, honest feedback, and real support. Not theory. Not hustle culture. Just people who know this world helping you figure out your place in it.
Community Conversations
Free. Weekly. Open to everyone.
Every Tuesday on Zoom we get together and talk about the real stuff. Career questions, studio struggles, what's working, what isn't. No agenda except honest conversation between artists who get it. You don't have to be a member. You don't have to have it figured out. You just have to show up.
Free | Tuesdays on Zoom

Collected Wisdom Library
53 guides. Everything we know, organized and ready to use.
Pricing your work. Writing your statement. Applying for grants. Navigating galleries. Understanding contracts. Photographing your art. Building your Instagram. The Collected Wisdom Library is everything Kristine has learned and taught over 30 years, written down and organized into eight bundles so you can go straight to what you need.

Substack
Free to read. Deeper if you want it.
Sign up for free and receive articles on what it means to be an artist today. The real stuff: what's shifting in the art world, how artists are building careers, what nobody talks about at openings. Paid subscribers get full access to the Artist Business Course, 28 lessons covering everything from pricing and sales to grant writing to building relationships with galleries. Practical, direct, and written for working artists, not business school students.

Critique Group
Honest feedback in a room full of people who want you to succeed.
Our ongoing critique group is a structured space to show work, get real responses, and build the kind of feedback muscle that makes your practice stronger. This isn't about tearing things apart. It's about seeing your work more clearly, with people who understand what you're trying to do and want to help you get there.
Available to members | Recurring monthly
Solo Show Cohort
You have a show coming up. Let's make sure you're ready.
The Solo Show Cohort is a biweekly group for artists with confirmed shows at any venue. We work through everything together: concept, installation, PR, opening, what comes after. It can feel isolating to prepare for a show on your own. This makes it a shared experience.
Open to all artists | $200 to join | Biweekly on Zoom | Ongoing
Portfolio Reviews
Just you, me, and your work. Thirty minutes on Zoom, $50.
We look at your portfolio together and talk through your questions about your practice and your career. After the session I send you a detailed written report you can actually use. I've been immersed in the art world for over 30 years as an artist, art historian, curator, and mentor. I know what galleries look for, what makes a body of work land, and where artists get stuck.
This is for wherever you are. Preparing for a show. Questioning your direction. Getting ready to apply for something. Wanting honest eyes from someone who knows this world.
$50 / 30 minutes on Zoom + detailed written report after Email shoeboxartsla at gmail dot com to schedule
