Is Your Art Ready to Sell? 

The truth is, selling our art is no easy feat. 

To some, selling their art is a terrifying idea because they see their work as their “darlings” and deepest secret keepers. They want to hold on tightly to those pieces of themselves. To others, they have a story they want to tell and they want to make money with it. They see art as their career and want to make a living doing what they love.

There’s nothing wrong with either feeling. 

But when you hit the point where you are ready to sell your art, I want you to ask yourself a question: Who are you selling it to? 

How to get your art ready to sell

Selling your art is more than just putting a canvas on a gallery wall and hoping the right collector will come by. To know if your art is ready to sell or not, you have to ask: “WHO am I selling my art to?” It’s important that you answer this specifically because your approach will change based on your audience.

That’s what we talk about in this episode of The Honest Art Podcast — how to identify your ideal art buyer so you can get your art ready to sell. We’ll also dive into: 

• Why your art doesn’t need to be “good” to sell

• How to let your story shine through your work so it connects with others
• What you need to consider when selling to different audiences

This is information I wish I had when I was trying to sell my first few pieces, so don’t ignore this episode! 

Until next time, y’all!
