Take Your Art Career to the Next Level!
The Success Summit is an annual conference for artists that takes place right here at ADC Fine Art in downtown Cincinnati. It’s just for artists like you—busy, hard-working, and trying to take your art career to the next level. We are creating an experience in which artists come together to learn how to succeed in their business, network with gallery owners, interior designers, art consultants, and corporate and private collectors, all the while making lifelong connections. We want to give you a forum for making a great impression on potential clients, gallery owners, and industry experts.
Breakfast and lunch is provided along with a special happy hour.
As an extra bonus, you will receive a complimentary ticket to our annual Art Comes Alive exhibition, awards ceremony and Gala (valued at $100).

What’s more important when collecting art? Love, passion or finances?
Andrea Klein
Private Art Collector
When Andrea moved to Cincinnati and purchased a home a few years ago, she wanted to fill it with beautiful things. As a passionate wine collector, she built an entire wall to house her wines, but then there were multiple opportunities for art too. An expansive layout with many floors meant she could do many wonderful new art installations to accompany the art she already owned. In her session, she will share photos of her beautiful home and tell you why collecting art is an important part of her life.
