I committed to a solo show in the fall and rented a booth at a local art fair; both were profitable. I also received a query from a prestigious local gallery and sat with the gallerist for an hour discussing my work.
The Art Biz Accelerator set me on the right track for the year, helped me plan and create goals, and measure my success. You are an inspiration and a terrific motivator!

... during our last Art Biz Accelerator lesson, I did some digging and discovered that in 2014, 2015, and 2016, this work accounted for 42%, 28% and 23% of my income. Not exactly nothing. And I also figured out that for the number of pieces actually shown to the public, I sold 20%, 33% and 50% of those pieces. I've concluded that if I find more venues for these pieces, I will likely sell more. Amazing! Glad you had us do this work.
