when you’re too close to the canvas, it’s hard to see the whole picture.
We help established artists step back, identify opportunities and make confident decisions about the next stage of their career.
MAKING GREAT WORK IS ONLY HALF THE CHALLENGE.
Building a successful artistic career means understanding what makes your work distinctive, recognising the right opportunities and making confident decisions about where to focus next.
Art MOT is a strategic advisory session for artists who have already built momentum on their own and are asking themselves one simple question: “Where do I go next?”
COULD YOU BENEFIT FROM AN ART MOT?
Art MOT is designed for artists who have already built an established practice and want an experienced, independent perspective on what comes next.
You might be looking to grow your profile, build a more sustainable business around your work, make sense of new opportunities, or simply get clearer about where to focus your time and energy.
If you recognise any of these…
I feel stuck.
I don’t know what my next move is.
I’m too close to my own work.
I have opportunities, but I don’t know which to pursue.
I want honest, experienced advice.
…then an Art MOT is for you.
OUR STORY
Jo Brooks and Will Harris have spent decades working alongside artists at every stage of their careers.
Between us, we've supported some of Britain's best-known contemporary artists, helping them define what makes their work distinctive, communicate it with confidence and make informed decisions about the direction of their careers.
Over time, we noticed the same pattern. Many talented artists reach a point where they don't need more opportunities - they need perspective. A chance to step back, make sense of where they are, and think clearly about what comes next.
Art MOT was created to provide exactly that: an honest, independent conversation that helps artists take stock, identify new opportunities and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
