Frequently Asked Questions
The Sunday calls will last 90 minutes, with an optional 30-minute group chat afterward. You’ll have roughly one hour of homework each week, including each week’s readings. There will also be a quick email exchange with your accountability buddy.
Your participation is integral to completing the program—for yourself and others. If you can’t attend, the calls will be recorded and posted for review.
No experience is necessary. In fact, you don’t even need to be an artist. This program is open to anyone who feels called to help foster creative expression and professional practices in others. Also welcome are those artists who might be looking for mentorship themselves.
Graduates receive a certificate of completion documenting their participation in this comprehensive 10-week artist mentorship training program. While this certification is not accredited, it shows your commitment to developing professional mentorship skills and completing this structured curriculum.
You’ll need a reliable internet connection and a computer or tablet with a camera and microphone. Our weekly sessions are held via Zoom.
We will examine the different steps of working as an artist each week. As you develop your mentorship and coaching skills, we’ll study the best professional practices for artists. As you enhance your art practice, you’ll learn how to build an artist mentorship/coaching business.
Drawing on our assigned homework, Crista will lead each session, where we’ll learn how to apply the information to our mentoring work. You’ll participate in breakout rooms to mentor one another. We’ll have guests and other professionals in mentorship and marketing. There will be an optional 30 minutes at the end of our sessions for interactive discussion and Q+As.
I’m so confident in the transformative power of this program that I offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If the results do not entirely blow you away after completing the program and doing the work, I’ll refund your investment. I ask that you attend all the sessions and engage with the work.

I had my mentorship session with Crista today. Best decision ever! She had insights into me that even my family hasn’t understood. She helped me get clarity, and to understand my weaknesses and strengths. I now have a new direction. If you're unsure, know that she's really serious about your success.

Crista simultaneously calms and challenge artists who have something to contribute but are nervous about the what and the how. With immense charm hiding her steely determination, she creates opportunities for artists to both shine and build confidence. She’s willing to release convention in order to seek her life’s true purpose. This is, it seems clear to me, to help others be the very best they can be through their creative activities. She’s a remarkable woman.
