How do you find people who want to buy your art?
- Do you know how you find and connect with collectors online and offline?
- Does the word “marketing” make you cringe?
- Do you think that your art needs to appeal to everyone to sell?
When I didn’t know how to find people to buy my art I sold some of my sell my art through art galleries.
However, I couldn’t develop a relationship with my collectors and gain referrals because the art galleries would not share my collector’s contact information.
Then I realized that I had an affluent market who I could serve.
I didn’t have to change my style, medium, or artistic genre.
I partnered with wineries in Napa Valley by painting their vineyards, selling them the reproductions, and selling the originals at wine tastings where I met their most affluent customers.
I gained national press attention for approach to selling my art.
