About the Show

I started the 25 Days of Minis in 2012 as a way to sell my art to busy collectors during the holidays without giving up all my weekends at shows.

As the show grew, and more and more artists participated along with me, it became clear that artists needed a lot of support in their businesses. And each year I found myself spending more and more time helping artists with marketing, sales, websites, and emails in the months leading up to the show.

So, in March of 2020, I made the decision to create an online business program for artists to compliment the 25 Days of Minis, and we rolled it out later that year before the 2020 Show.

The results were unreal.

The average sales per artist during the 2019 show was $2156 vs. $3387 in 2023. The program was working, artists were selling more and I wasn’t exhausted and ignoring my own art business for months before the show.

If you are here and reading this, I know that you have big goals. You want to make more money as an artist. You want more people buying your work. You want to crack the code of selling your work online.

You are in the right place. That’s exactly what we do here…and we do it in the most ninja way. You learn how to make money as an artist…and then, each year in December you take all of the things you’ve learned and you apply it to the 25 Days of Minis show for real world results, real sales, and real collectors.

And the best part is that you’ll have a whole community supporting you along the way. So you can get help when you need it and course correct immediately.

This sh!t works.

If you’re an artist, and you want to make money selling your art…come and join us.

“Helping at the Holidays is what I love most about 25 Days of Minis. Gift giving is stressful - remarkable when you hit it just right but tricky. I love that collectors buy my art to gift either to themselves or to others. It amazes me that my little drawing might be exactly the gift someone has been searching for. It's an absolute thrill that during the Holidays & around the country my drawings are gifted & received with love!”

How it Works

  1. Each artist creates 25 minis before the Nov. 1st deadline. Minis are 12x12 and smaller and priced between $100 and $500.

  2. Artists will add those pieces to their own website shop AND will upload to the 25 Days of Minis website.

  3. Starting Dec. 1st, once piece from each artist participating will be revealed each day in a new collection.

  4. Collectors will click on the pieces they want and be taken directly to your site to complete the sale.

  5. The artist will pack up the art and ship it directly to the collector.

  6. The artist keeps 100% of the sale and builds the relationship with the collector.

Application

The application process is simple.

  1. Schedule an interview with me via zoom by clicking the button below.

  2. You’ll be sent an application to fill out prior to our meeting.

  3. I’ll ask you some questions and look at work, and you’ll get your notification in a few days.

  4. Once you’ve been accepted, you’ll make your payment and you’ll be given immediate access to 25 Days of Minis Onboarding, The Art Room (online business program), Weekly Business Coaching, and the Facebook Community.

A note to you,

Here’s the thing…I think every artist has the ability to have a successful art business…however they define it.

But, it takes effort and it takes an investment in time and sometimes money.

I’m really proud of the program that I’ve built for you because it comes with everything you need to learn how to make money as an artist…including a show to not just make your investment back in the first year…but double your investment.

If you’re ready to start building a profitable and sustainable art business while having a ton of fun during December…I’m ready for ya!

“I do love the holidays and every sparkly thing about them! I just love how the 25 Days is like an advent calendar and each morning there is something new to see as you open the site and there they all are! Each year we grow and cheer each other on. It's very rewarding to make a sale and know that your painting may become someone's favorite gift. The anticipation is wonderfully exciting!”

“I love being able to stay home in December knowing that it is the end of my show calendar and yet it's the best show of the year. It gives me a chance to really look forward to the holidays and celebrate my wins.”

“I enjoy the camaraderie of the 25 Days of Minis. The experience of meeting and interacting with other participating artists is a year-long treat. Additional adventure comes from finding and learning ways to connect with old friends and new collectors who all want art in their lives.”

Erika Stearly @erika_stearly

“Participating in the 25 Days feels like putting on a school play. We spend weeks and months preparing for the big reveal, and at midnight on December 1, all the work turns into magic.”

Gregory Blue @gregory_blue

“I look forward to each day of 25 DOM’s, getting up early to see the array of art that everyone made. I enjoy the thought that we each made something specific, uniquely our own, and how wonderful it is to be included in this shared experience.”

Diane Lavelle @dianelavelleart

“It is such a joy when returning collectors purchase my paintings right after midnight and then send me photos of the art hung on their walls and tell me how much joy they get from looking at the art.”

Gaurangi Shah @gaurangimehtashah

“What I absolutely adore is the platform you have created, allowing people to sell, purchase and own original artworks in various subjects and mediums, all online! Your vision and achievement leave me in awe of you and of 25 days of minis. Being part of it, energies me to no end 😊”

“I love the hustle and bustle of the whole show – creating the pieces (often in a time crunch), getting to know other artists, connecting with collectors, and spreading joy through art.”
