Often, it's easier to create art work than it is to sell and profit from your artwork. Whether you are creating fine art (oil, watercolor, pastels, acrylics, etc.); collage; photography, digital art, decorative art (tole painting); greeting cards, etc., you need to know some of the avenues to get your artwork from your studio into the hands of a customer. It is important for Members to know that the same marketing and sales principles apply to most art creations.

We will share information on exhibiting your artwork, entering shows, being accepted by galleries, website sales, how to price your artwork, and etc.

Do we have all the answers??? No!!! We are artists, some with degrees and experience in Business and Marketing and some who have successfully exhibited and sold artwork ... but certainly we do not have all the answers. We all have lots to learn. How do we do that??? Only by asking questions and sharing successul experiences and advice.
