Read Our Books

Learn how to sell more art, build a thriving business, and lead the creative life you've always dreamed of.

Artist and Create! Magazine Founder Ekaterina Popova and curator Alicia Puig of PxP Contemporary have written two essential guides for creative entrepreneurs. The Complete Smartist Guide covers everything we never learned in art school—business tactics, sales strategies, promoting your art, overcoming creative burnout and imposter syndrome. The Creative Business Handbook offers veteran insight and actionable advice for building a profitable venture from your creative passion. Both books share the exact steps we used to build three six-figure businesses and reach hundreds of thousands of followers worldwide, plus interviews with successful creative entrepreneurs. Written by creative business owners for creative business owners—no fancy business degree required.
