Art school doesn’t teach you everything. I guess that’s true of any education — real-life experience will always win out over textbook learnin’. But if you want to grow an art biz, art school doesn’t really teach you how to do that.

As an entrepreneur with years of experience running businesses before I picked up a paintbrush, I’ve learned a thing (or 47) about what it takes to sell your art for a living. Now, I want to share 10 things that art school grads might want to know about owning an art biz.

In this episode, I talk about how to: 

 

• Market your business effectively and get your work in front of the right people

• Harness the power of modern technology to do that (social media + email are our friends!)

• Effectively use your time and energy to keep your art biz afloat

 

If you want to learn more about the business side of owning an art biz (because yes, it IS important!) check out Art Biz for Rebels: https://www.jodiekingart.com/artbizforrebels. I’ll teach you several strategies for establishing yourself as an artist, how to price your art and apply to galleries, plus tons more!
