Yesterday I attended a Business Development workshop for artists. I think many artists forget that the quest to sell their artwork is a small business, and the essence to building any business is a Build Plan. My dad gave me a tip, Deb artwork won't sell sitting in your lounge room! The main point of sale for a visual artists is a art gallery.
So my first goal was to get my art out there!
Coming out!
"Fish tales - Arttime Coffee Shop"
Outlay $40 for wall / income $40
This was followed by
Paw Prints
Drawing Point Gallery
Made a loss
Then . . .
Made a profit!
Getting the local paper to do a story
went viral!
Papers across the Southeast picked up my story
And sale of merchandise assisted
This idea I picked up from working with other artists
