2024 Year in Review
Here's my year-end wrap up. Time to say goodbye to 2024 and hello to 2025! I love to take some time at the end of each year and take a look at my highlights for the year. Here's my top Ten Art Highlights for 2024.
1) Launched a new course called Inspiration Look Book. Haven't enrolled yet? Get it for free when you subscribe to my Behind the Brush Newsletter.
2) Participated in Flowers Magic 2024 collaborating with 14 other artists from across the globe. You can still join the fun for this library of courses HERE.
3) Grew my YouTube channel to 2.46K followers by offering free valuable content for artists and creatives from the questions they've been asking me. If you have an idea for something you'd like to see me do a YouTube video on, email me at hello@stacyspanglerart.com.
4) Through my art business, I was able to donate artwork and money to 11 ministries and non-profit organizations.
5) I hosted my first ever solo Creating In Him mixed media retreat at the Whatever Craft House in Newton, Kansas with 15 women from all over the United States. I also taught at the Creative Soul Retreat with Stephanie Ackerman, at the Whatever Craft House in Newton, Kansas, and collaborted with 3 other local artists at the first ever Creativille Retreat right here in my hometown. Be sure and sign up for my Behind the Brush newsletter to be first to know about future in person events.
6) I held my annual Paint to Product Master Course, where I help artists grow their business and maximize painting time by learning how to print their artwork on products. My favorite part was offering Quick-start private coaching Zoom calls for participants. My online art course library has helped close to 3,000 people learn more about mixed media from the luxury of their own home. If you'd like to see what courses I have available, you can learn more HERE.
7) Life went full circle, as I was invited to come back to my hometown of 23 years and teach and workshop and speak at Little Rock Christian Academy Honors Art Induction. They surprised me by inducting me as an honorary member into the LRCA National Art Honors Society.
8) I celebrated my 7th year of my Art + Scripture calendars, and because of my customers, I was able use a portion of the profits to benefit Loving Choices crisis pregnancy center. I still have some available HERE.
9) I had a record year in art and merchandise sales, as I partnered with 6 retail shops/galleries to sell my artwork, sold art online to customers in 32 states and one in Vancouver, British Colombia, and participated in 3 local and regional group art exhibitions.
10) The new friendships I've made from events, workshops and retreats have been what I treasure the most. Art has allowed me to connect with so many amazing creatives and customers across the world, across age ranges and walks of life, and I'm so very thankful for each and every one of those.
Thank you to all of you who supported and encouraged me in my art journey for 2024. I'm so excited to see what 2025 holds!
