A 4-part live masterclass for artists who want to understand how their work can enter the home décor and commercial art market.
Dates: November 7–8 & November 14–15, 2026
Time: 10:00 AM–12:00 PM ET
Format: Live on Zoom, interactive online masterclass
Led by industry consultant Maria Hoo, this intensive program takes artists behind the scenes of the licensing world, from how companies select artwork and identify trends to how licensing agreements work, how artists get paid, and how to build a portfolio that is ready for professional opportunities.
Across four live sessions, you’ll learn how to:
Understand the home décor and commercial art industry, including what companies look for when selecting artwork
Recognize market trends, color direction, and commercial opportunities without losing your individual artistic voice
Understand art licensing, royalties, publishers, manufacturers, and licensing agreements
Build and present a professional licensing portfolio
Research and approach companies, licensing professionals, and industry events strategically
Avoid common mistakes and learn how to follow up and build lasting professional relationships
The program includes live Q&A throughout, plus the opportunity to submit artwork for educational portfolio consideration. Three portfolio finalists will be selected to receive a private 40-minute educational portfolio advisory session with Maria, moderated by Ivy and Stella. As well as exclusive features on Imur Gallery’s social media.
