I envision a world where the image of 'starving artist' is replaced by a creative powerhouse:
independent, influential, and equipped with robust entrepreneurial skills, making his profession a valued pillar of society.

meet the founder
I'm ATLANTA,
Art Wisdom Education is my brainchild. It was born from over 70 years of professional experience across two generations of artists and art entrepreneurs in my family.
This journey has been deeply influenced by the rich diversity of three European cultures and is made to have universal relevance for artists around the world.
My collection of tools, methods, courses, and recommendations is crafted to transform you from an artist into an art entrepreneur. It’s designed to reshape not just your career, but the entire artistic landscape.
how it went
Your new artist friend.
You might be here in search of a long-awaited epiphany.
My Life wasn't always smooth sailing ...
... so I developed METHODS & TOOLS ...
🧡 WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT:
Everything you need to start and grow your art business (and nothing you don't). Built to take the overwhelm out of all things outside the studio.
... for a thriving, fulfilling art business that you've been dreaming of.
After my first solo exhibition at the Deutsche Bank at the age of 21, I knew I found my calling as a portrait artist. But reality hit hard, and life threw curveballs.
Fast forward through two recessions and the whirlwind of 2020-2021, when I saw every artist and creative soul I knew getting knocked down, I decided it was time to step up. That's when the idea for Art Wisdom Education (AWE) came to life.
It's more than just tools and courses; it's a compass designed to empower artists like you and me to rise, reinvent, and rekindle our passions, even in the roughest seas.
This is our why
We believe in the transformative power of art and its ability to impact society positively.
Art Wisdom Education (AWE) was founded by Atlanta Weiss to inspire artists to reach their full potential. We create a strong, self-sufficient and influential community of artists where CREATIVITY and BUSINESS SKILLS coexist harmoniously.
AWE was established to bridge the gap between artistic passion and business knowledge. Our mission is to equip creatives with the tools and knowledge necessary for success in today's art market.
OUR 4 PILLARS
We believe the power of humanity lies in the ability of each person to make a meaningful impact on their surroundings. Through our educational and supportive work, we inspire artists to create their best selves, thereby contributing to a brighter future for all.
We view ourselves not as competitors - but as members of a growing family. We all thrive when our entire profession elevates to new heights. By sharing knowledge, we collectively uplift the entire art market.
We recognize that the key to innovation and progress is a deep understanding of the past. A dynamic and impactful future (including AI, NFTs and so on) is only possible with appreciation of what has been achieved over the past thousands of years.
In accordance with the Chinese proverb "All under one sky" ("天下一家"), we believe in the power of community. Lifting up our fellow artists elevates the entire art market and benefits the art world as a whole.

Our story
AWE's roots are deeply embedded in the rich soil of artistic heritage. Founded by Atlanta Weiss, a second-generation artist with a legacy of creativity and entrepreneurial spirit, AWE is more than just an educational platform. It’s a culmination of over 70 years of combined experience in the art world, channeling wisdom from generations of artistic and business excellence.
The seeds of AWE were sown in the rich legacy of two remarkable artists – the parents of our founder, Atlanta Weiss. As pioneering artists and educators, they established not just one, but three art schools and an art club, marking a legacy of artistic excellence and education. Atlanta carries forward this legacy into the 21st century with AWE, infusing it with modern tools and entrepreneurial strategies.
We view ourselves not as competitors - but as members of a growing family.
We all thrive when each of our colleagues elevates to new heights.
