Personal Details

Bio

Elli Milan is a visionary artist, author, educator, inspirational speaker, and founding owner of Milan Art and Art Social – an online art education program, social learning, and art patronage platform. She is passionate about empowering artists and has transformed the lives of thousands of artists worldwide, helping them find their voice and turn their passion for art into a profession.

Elli began her professional career in 1996 and has been making her mark on the art scene ever since. Her education at Savannah College of Art and Design and the University of Georgia refined her skill and passion for art. She has been successful in the traditional and decorative art markets selling over 10,000 paintings. Elli is married to artist John Milan, raised four artist children, and together, created the foundation of Milan Art Institute. With her visionary approach and revolutionary art programs, Elli is a leading voice of the current Art Renaissance.

She currently lives near Atlanta, Georgia on the campus of Milan Art. Her days are divided between painting, hosting Art Social podcasts and workshops, and empowering creative world changers to step into their destiny through inspirational speeches. In the future, Elli would like to establish a permanent art studio in Greece. There she hopes to honor her Greek heritage and inspire emerging art students to persevere through their own artist odyssey, set against the backdrop of one of the greatest art cultures in history.

Art Social Workshop: How to Start Your Art Career - April 1, 2023

In this workshop, I outline the steps for artists to adopt an entrepreneurial mindset and begin thinking about their art as a product. It covers topics such as creating inventory, understanding price structures, and choosing distribution channels. By thinking like an entrepreneur, artists can produce more art, understand their audience, and build a successful art career.
