Join our welcoming, high-touch community to get the motivation you need to keep elevating and become unstoppable.

Live coaching. Curated marketing lessons. Proven business strategies. Connections for life.

Let’s be clear: no one can take your art away from you.

While opportunities come and go, your relationship with yourself *and* your art is forever.

But what does it look like to truly nurture, protect and elevate your talent?

… To the point where you can be making sales, creating your own opportunities, increasing your rates, landing cool collaborations and more?

(Without second-guessing yourself or backing out when impostor syndrome shows up!)

THAT level of commitment takes consistency, community and access to strong networks in the art world to skyrocket you forward.

Enter:

The AQ Society 2.0.

Meet Your Master Coach, Artpreneur and Mentor: Ekaterina Popova

Who’s the artpreneur handing out all these crowns?

Hi! I’m Kat — artist, artpreneur, rosé kombucha fanatic, vintage Victorian teacup collector and dog mama to my baby Pomeranian, Kolibri.

I'm a multi-passionate soul: painter, author, podcaster, and coach with a mission to help the art world heal and thrive.

I’ve come a long way since crying while serving pancakes and selling makeup at Macy’s after graduating art school!

Since then, I’ve been able to:

  • Grow my art business to six-figures.
  • Exhibit and sell my work globally.
  • Write bestselling books.
  • Land features in multiple blogs and publications — including Colossal, Flow, The Jealous Curator, and The Philadelphia Inquirer.
  • Complete sought-after art residences across the world.
  • Manifest a dream studio in Philadelphia.

And today? I also love teaching my systems and processes to artists who want to build their businesses to six figures, because that’s where I’ve seen true magic happen!

I believe it’s too exhausting to expect our lives to depend on the ONE thing we do… But by embracing multiple strengths instead? 

Building a robust business (while being a talented creative) can free us from the “suffering artist” archetype and pave the way for more abundance, community and joy.

At the end of the day, I’ve learned that growing, scaling and manifesting more of what you want is easier when you’re surrounded by ambitious artists who can show you what’s truly possible.

The thing is, the opportunities available to you in the art world are SO much more than just getting into galleries or selling your art consistently. 

Hey, There!

COMMUNITY STRATEGY ACCOUNTABILITY

If you want to turn your art into a full-time business that you *love* every single day… 

→ You need access to a community of rising and thriving artists, robust connections in the art world and time to learn new strategies… With expert feedback along the way to hold you accountable.

(And lots and lots of fun, too.)

That’s exactly why I created this membership.

TAKE A PEEK INTO OUR MEMBERS’ EXPERIENCES:

I am proud to be an Art Queen member. Since joining in Fall 2020, I have found this community and the sessions have been one of the reasons that I took the leap to be a full-time artist after many years of doing it as my side hustle. This diverse group of supportive queens have felt like a safety net through these last months. I know I am not alone in this creative journey. I adore them all and I am in constant awe of their art-making talents.
Billie Rae Busby
I joined The Art Queens the day it launched and have been a member ever since. It's been genuinely life-changing for me. The artist friends I've made, the confidence I've built -- I'm selling work, building a collage community and launching my first publication. The Queens are it!
Elyse' Jokinen | Wilder Collage
The Art Queens have given me invaluable support both mentally and fiscally in my art business. No matter where you are in your creative career, you feel stronger having a group of women on your side that can both relate to your struggles and then help you get through them, all with love in their hearts. This group is proof that sharing your light makes the world a brighter place.
Jamie Pomeranz
It's been a year now, since I joined the Art Queens and it has been a life-changing experience. It was my first year as a full time artist and I initially joined to learn how to market my art, but I have gained so much more. In addition to the true friendships from likeminded women who believe that we rise by lifting others, I have grown from a newbie artist to a real Queen.
Jovanitha
Art Queens has changed my life during the pandemic. In March 2021 I lost my day job and then applied to over 50 jobs and received 1 interview. Art queens gave me support, encouragement and resources I needed to transition into being a full time artist ans artrepenuer. So grateful for this community!
Jen Dwyer
Since joining The Art Queens a few months ago, I have already made back my investment in art sales! I have learned SO much and have gotten the best support from the wonderful Queens. Founder Kat is the most genuine, thoughtful and engaged leader, and makes me feel at home in this amazing group of go-getter artists.

WIN-WIN, I’M IN!



I'M IN! Artists usually work alone, but building your business doesn’t have to be done solo.

A final note from my paint-splattered biz diary… 

 

As artists, we often struggle to feel like we belong — and I know we all crave greater transparency, warmth and connection in this industry.

 

That’s ALL about to change for you.

 

I see more community, creativity and collaborations in your future… And it’s going to unfold WAY faster than you think!

 

That’s because you’ll have invested in your growth, and committed to protecting your dreams when you become an Art Queen.

 

Whether you join me inside the Art Queens Society or not, I’m asking you to believe that you are SO capable of growing your art business, finding genuine connection with artists and that you’re *always* allowed to play by your own rules.

 

Artists go through so many seasons and cycles, and it’s so much easier when you have a community to help you through them all.

 

Together, this community of Art Queens (and the valuable intel I house inside this membership) can help you attract the opportunities you truly deserve.

 

But the choice is in your hands now.

 

Are you ready to take action to fuel your dreams?

 

Or will you keep figuring it out on your own, operate at the same level and convince yourself that you don’t deserve to play big?

 

Our talent and time is so valuable – but there’s so much more to our lives that’s integral to help us lead a fulfilling life; and we need each other if we want to lift the industry and scale together.

 

I hope that when you join me inside the Art Queens membership, you’ll see that too.

 

With love + rosé kombucha,

Kat
