Success
is not equal to the amount of money you make
For some artists, success is a museum show or acquisition. For others, it's gallery representation. And then there are artists who need to make money in order to survive.
But it's more complicated than that because money gets in the way of all of this.
Success means something different to every individual artist. Only you can define what it means to you.
And, yet … I've never had a client or student who didn't want to sell more art.
That's because sales—earning money from your art—is a form of validation. All artists want to feel like their work matters to someone else.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to sell more art, as long as you don't lose your purpose in the process. As long as your message (the work) remains paramount.
If you are looking to increase your income, I want you to know, above all, that you have control over what is possible.
You don't have to wait for opportunities.
Your sales are only dependent on a gallery or social media algorithm if you allow them to be.
You can be proactive. You can plan to increase your art income. That's our focus in the Art Biz Success community and learning programs this fall. Here's what that looks like …Join me in these live programs.
