It’s true, we might get a little bit repetitive at times, but, as we might have mentioned once or twice in the past, Make Art That Sells courses (especially the live courses) are an incredible opportunity to get your art directly in front of art agent Lilla – and maybe get offered representation. Over the past eight years since Make Art That Sells was founded, Lilla has scooped up 21 students from class to represent, including three in 2020 – and it looks like she might beat that number in 2021, taking on three new artists in the first two months alone.

One of the things that makes Make Art That Sells courses unique is that they present an incredible opportunity to get your artwork directly in front of top art agent, Lilla Rogers. Lilla is always looking to take on new artists at her agency – because so many of them, especially those whose art includes illustrating children’s books, are completely booked up and she can’t give them any more commissions. And she’s especially interested in scooping up artists from Make Art That Sells courses. Why? Lilla says it’s because Make Art That Sells students are so well trained! Her courses help you to make art in a way that will appeal to agents and art directors, so you can get the work you deserve and build a lucrative creative career. Plus, she also gets to see what students are like in class: are they supportive and positive in their interactions
