Why the Lone Artist Mindset Keeps You Small (263)

In this solo episode of The Art Biz, host Alyson Stanfield explores why collaboration is often the missing piece in an artist's growth. While working alone feels easier, it can quietly limit what's possible.

This episode makes the case for thinking bigger by asking a simple but powerful question: Who else belongs in your work?

Alyson shares:

• Two powerful examples of artist collaborations and how they reached audiences that the artists couldn't have reached on their own
• How collaborations build accountability, momentum, and deeper work
• Why it's important that your work be part of the larger dialogue
• What to look out for when collaborating
