And for artists who got to that same crossroads on their own.
You started this for the freedom.
Let's actually go build it.
The Thrive Art Business Accelerator is a 12-month coaching program plus a custom-built business platform for working artists ready to step into the full-time version of themselves. No more guessing. No more starting over. No more figuring it out in isolation. Real strategy. Real coaching. Real systems. From someone who actually built this.
Built by Stacie Bloomfield · 16-year working illustrator · Founder of Gingiber

THE HONEST PART
You are doing everything right.
So why does it still not feel like a business?
Let me say what you have probably not said out loud.
You have shown up. You have built something real. You have months where it works, months where it does not, and a Google Doc full of half-finished plans that were supposed to fix it. You are tired. You should not have to be this tired.
Your income resets every season.
Last quarter was good. This quarter is quieter and you cannot tell anyone why. You are not allowed to project. You are not allowed to plan. You are guessing your own numbers.
You are working constantly, and still guessing.
You opened the laptop at 6 a.m. You closed it at 9 p.m. The list is somehow longer than it was this morning. Nothing compounds. You are an unpaid employee in your own business.
You have outgrown beginner advice.
You already know what a niche is. You already know what an email list is. You do not need another 101 course. You need someone above you who can tell you what to actually do next.
You know you should be earning more.
Other artists at your stage are. You see them. You feel it. You cannot pinpoint the gap. You wonder if you are missing something obvious.
You keep starting over.
A slow February resets the whole thing. You rebuild every spring. You promised yourself last year would be different.
You cannot see what is actually broken.
You are too close to it. You are inside the thing. You keep fixing the wrong layer because the real problem is invisible from where you are standing.
THEÂ REFRAME
This is not a talent problem.
It is a systems problem. And it is fixable.
You did not get here because your art is not good enough. You got here because somewhere between "this is working" and "this needs to actually compound," nobody handed you the system underneath a real art business.
You are not stuck. You are about to step into the role you were always supposed to play: the CEO of your own art business.
A real-time read on what is actually working in their business. Not a gut feel. A real score that climbs as the business gets stronger.
A weekly rhythm that compounds. Not a launch every quarter, hoping it lands. A daily plan that turns 30 focused minutes into measurable forward motion.
Someone who can see what they cannot see. Not a peer group of artists who are also stuck. A coach above them who has done this and tells them what to do next.
Thrive is built around all three. We did not write you a workbook.
We built you the software, the room, and the coach.
Most coaching programs send you a Google Drive folder.
We built you the app.
Thrive lives at scale.leverageyourart.com. A real app, with real data, built for working artists. Nobody else in this space has anything like it.
Your Thrive Score
A live score for your business out of 100. The number climbs as you fill your Vault, set your goals, watch the lessons, work the Clipboard. The first time you watch it move, you understand exactly what is working in your business. You stop guessing. You start knowing.
The Clipboard
Every weekday has a theme. Monday is Create Day. Tuesday is Operations and Shipping. Wednesday is Marketing and Growth. Thursday is Money Day. Friday is Review and Plan. 30 focused minutes a day moves your business forward more than 4 hours of scattered work ever did.
The Vault
The private space where your real business reference lives. EIN, bank, registered agent, insurance, contracts, account logins. 16 core fields plus extended. Even Stacie cannot see it. The day you fill it is the day you stop hunting for that document.
The 8-Stage Journey
The Thrive curriculum is mapped to 8 real business stages: Create, Clarity, Build the Thing, Get Seen, Make Sales, Don't Break It, Refine What Works, Real Scale. You pick the stage you are actually in. The platform pulls you forward.
The Cohort Roadmap
While your personal Stage is yours alone, the cohort moves through 4 phases together: Clarity, Systems, Revenue, Marketing. Every member is working the same phase at the same time. Your slow weeks become someone else's breakthrough weeks.
The 148-Lesson Curriculum
148 structured lessons mapped phase by phase, stage by stage. Not a video dump. A curriculum. You watch the ones that match where you actually are. Your notes live next to each lesson, automatically.
Jillian was getting plenty of general advice — but nothing specific to her actual business. She needed real, personalized direction she could act on immediately, not another framework to figure out alone.
"The biggest difference for me has been getting real, personalized feedback on my actual business—not generic advice."
I can bring a specific question and get immediate, actionable direction based on my goals. The group feels more like an incubator than a course—you're surrounded by people building real businesses and openly sharing what's working.
Having access to Stacie and the coaches at this level has been invaluable. It's the kind of support you just can't get in bigger programs.
THE COACHING
And the room is small on purpose.
Monthly Group Coaching with Stacie
Once a month, you bring a real decision from your real business to a live call. Your offer. Your pricing. Your next launch. Your hiring question. Your wholesale pitch. You leave with a direct answer and a specific next move. Not a framework to apply later. Not "it depends." A real answer from someone who has made that exact decision in her own business.
Weekly Specialist Coaching
Three working pros, each one a specialist in her lane:
- · Mandy on product and licensing
- · Rebecca on brand and portfolio
- · Sophie on email and sales systems
You get the right voice at the right moment in your year. Not one generalist trying to cover everything badly.
The 50-Artist Cohort
Fifty working artists per cohort, all at the same upgrade moment. Not 500. Not 5,000. Everyone in the room is making the same shift you are: from side hustle into real career. When someone ships, you see it. When someone hits a wall, you help. This is a working room, not a chat channel.
Quarterly Progress Tracking
Every quarter, you analyze your progress with a virtual check-in. What worked. What did not. What is next. Nobody coasting through their year unnoticed.
WHO THIS IS FORÂ
Thrive is for the artist who is ready to become a CEO.
You came from Side Hustle Society, or you got to this same crossroads on your own. Either way, you know exactly where you are: past the testing, past the side-hustle juggling, ready to commit to building this as your actual career, run by a real CEO. Which is you.
You belong inside Thrive if:
You graduated from Side Hustle Society, or you have done the equivalent foundation work on your own
You are ready to treat your art as your real career, not your part-time side income
You can picture the future version of yourself you want to build into, even if she feels far away right now
You are willing to commit to a full year of building, not a month of testing
You want to be in a room of artists making the same upgrade you are
Thrive is not for you if:
You have not done the foundation work yet (start with Side Hustle Society first, it is the on-ramp)
You are looking for a quick fix or an overnight result
You want someone to do the work for you
You are not ready to commit to a full year of showing up
If you are in the first list, keep reading. If you are in the second list, the path is not closed. It is just earlier. Side Hustle Society is where you start.
I’ve built the kind of business you’re trying to build.
Stacie Bloomfield
Head Educator · 16-year working illustrator · founder of two 7-figure creative brands
I built Gingiber into a product-based business now carried in 1,200+ stores — including Barnes & Noble, TJ Maxx, and Paper Source. I’ve taught 50,000+ artists how to turn their work into consistent income, built a community of 130K+, and my first book sold out in 4 months.
I didn’t stumble into any of this. I built it — offer by offer, season by season — while making art every single day.
Thrive is the program I wish had existed when I was building.

Built for Where You Are Now
You've already proven you can build an art business. Thrive is what happens next — when you stop figuring it out alone and start moving with real strategy and real support.
Strategy Reset
You stop spinning your wheels. You get clear on exactly what's working, what's not, and what to focus on next — so every decision you make from here moves you forward.
Your coach audits your business from the inside — not the symptoms you've been managing, but what's actually driving or blocking your revenue.
- Identify what's working, what's draining energy, and where the real bottleneck is
- Set a 12-month target for your actual capacity and market — not someone else's blueprint
- Walk away with a clear plan and the specific decisions that move you forward first
Audience Activation
Your existing audience starts buying more consistently — because you finally know what to say, when to say it, and how to position your work so the right people say yes.
You have people following you. Your coach closes the gap between audience and consistent sales.
- Dial in your messaging so the right people say yes
- Clarify your offer positioning — what to sell, how to say it, what to cut
- Show up with confidence in a voice that's yours, not a formula
Revenue Systems
Sales stop depending on whether you had a good week. You build the systems that make revenue repeatable — so your income doesn't rise and fall with your energy.
This is where you stop being the only thing holding your business together.
- Build the email funnel, launch rhythm, or passive revenue stream that fits your business
- Create backend infrastructure that drives sales even when you're in the studio
- Leave this phase with revenue that doesn't require you to be "on" every single day
Scale & Sustainability
You stop being the bottleneck in your own business. You build toward the next level — without burning out to get there.
You have momentum. This phase gives it direction.
- Identify your next income tier and what it actually takes to reach it
- Protect your creative time as you grow
- Make decisions that are sustainable for the long haul — not just for the next launch

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I can’t attend live calls every week?
Life happens. All calls are recorded, so you can watch on your own schedule. Many members get tremendous value from replays, the resource library, and the community. You don’t have to attend everything live—you just have to stay engaged.
How much time should I plan to commit each week?
Most members spend 1–3 hours per week between calls, content, and implementation. The program is designed to fit into real life—not take it over. The goal is consistent progress, not perfection.
Is this only for product-based art businesses?
No. Thrive supports artists working across products, digital offers, licensing, services, wholesale, and hybrid models. The frameworks are adaptable—you apply them to your specific business.
How is this different from other art business programs?
Most programs give you information. Thrive gives you a structured system, expert guidance on your actual business, and ongoing support to implement it. You’re not just learning—you’re building.
I’m not sure if I’m “ready” for this. How do I know?
If you’re already making some sales but feel stuck, inconsistent, or unsure what to do next—you’re ready. Thrive is designed for artists who have momentum, but need structure to turn it into something sustainable.
