One-day online masterclass for students & early-career artists — begin right, move faster, avoid the traps.
The Art Practice | From Vision to Action
with Steve Sabella
The masterclass you wish your art school taught. The class that bridges art school and the complex art world.
We talk about the practice itself—focus, doubt, inspiration, voice ... so your next moves become clear.
Taught in university settings and hosted by cultural institutions — including the Barenboim-Said Akademie (Berlin) and workshops in partnership with the Goethe-Institut Tunisia and Barjeel Art Foundation in the UAE. Students gave the course their highest praise.
An Artistic Reset
This day isn’t about showing work. It’s a small, camera-on circle where we speak honestly about how artists actually work: how you decide, persist, and grow. You’ll walk out with clearer purpose, renewed energy, and simple prompts you can live with in the studio and beyond.
Leave with a clearer inner voice—purpose reclaimed, energy unblocked, and ideas flowing.
When your vision widens, your path gets simpler
Clarify your purpose — name what truly drives your practice.
Sharpen your focus — cut noise, keep a working rhythm.
Strengthen your nerve — move through hesitation and comparison.
Give language to your path — words you can actually use.
Create with integrity — Keep your compass.
Find momentum — ideas to keep moving no matter the challenges.
You will learn to navigate the art world without losing your voice or soul.
Who it’s for
If you’re early in your journey—student, recent grad, or self-taught—and want direction that translates into action, this masterclass is designed to give you clarity, confidence, and steady motion.
It's time for a real, felt change!
The Artist's CURE
The well this masterclass draws from: a field guide of 365 epigrams distilled from three decades in the studio and the art world. It names real frictions and turns them into clear actions. It’s a book artists keep within reach—for a steadier nerve, a truer compass, and permission to keep making. The Artist’s CURE is a survival guide and manifesto for the long journey.
“There is nothing like it that has been published yet.”
Vision begins before the work exists.
Catch ideas before they float away!
Courage is the oxygen of the artist.
Pick a number. Let's begin!
Methodology — The Artist’s CURE in practice
Throughout the day — at natural pauses — a different participant draws a number at random (1–365). The page is projected on screen so everyone can follow as it’s read aloud. Then there’s a moment to connect that line to your practice. The draw keeps rotating so each voice reads many times. It’s playful, focused, and keeps the circle moving.
A focused, fun day, from start to finish!

No. This is a conversation-based practice lab. You’ll pick a number to open a theme; we talk about process and practice—not live portfolio reviews. We may discuss portfolios and your work as a concept (what helps, what hurts), but we won’t review yours here. If you want that, we can schedule a separate 1:1 portfolio session.
