I've been at the negotiating table—representing artists, museums, galleries, and vendors—and I can tell you this: the art world runs on undefined rules—and people still expect you to know them.

If you've ever asked, "Is this normal for a gallery to demand this?"—you're not alone. You're navigating a blurry system where dynamics shift in a heartbeat.

This is exactly why this conversation matters right now—when grant applications are due, calls for residencies are open, and art fair season is here.

In this episode, I sit down with art advisor Carrie Scott to talk about how she's advising artists and collectors in the current market. She's currently collaborating with The Christian Levett Collection and FAMM Museum Mougins, and is the founder of Seen.Art—an art collective for artists and collectors.

I could easily title this "Carrie: Unfiltered." It's a candid, behind-the-scenes conversation with a woman saying the loudest thought in her head instead of staying quiet, navigating a pinch of imposter syndrome, and showing how Seen.Art is helping create artist–collector relationships instead of dead-end transactions.

Bonus: She shares her top eight things artists should do to be seen and sold—and the newest resource she's building to help you.

Listen now to the Female Frequency Podcast with Jodie Nelson if you want professional advice—with a dash of art history—whether you're an artist or a collector.
