How to get your art ready to sell in ten steps?
I have been asked as an artist what are the necessary steps in getting ready to sell your art by emerging artist.
First Create Art.
Create Great Art
Second take the art out from under your bed.
If you do not take your art out from under your bed then you can not sell it.
Third take your take photos of your art work.
Photos give you accountability of what you have created.
Fourth create a portfolio of your art work.
This allows to you display what you have created to show others in a clean format efficiently and effectively.
Fifth create a catalog of your art work.
This lets you track for yourself what has sold. What people like and what they do not. How much has your art sold for. Are the prices holding steady are they increasing or are they decreasing over time.
Sixth show your art.
How to display your art? Matt and frame your art. Gallery Tag. Certificate of Authenticity.
Seventh sell your art.
Art Fairs. Galleries. Private showings.
Eighth network.
Show up to events. Talk about your art. Generate list of people who like your art.
Ninth create a following.
Send out newsletters to let your fans know what you are up to. Where you are showing your art. Let them know about your art.
Tenth Create more art.
Work on a new series.
