[Free] Business For Fine Artists: How To Market, Sell, And Ship
A guide to making a living as a fine arts professional. – Free Course
What you’ll learn
- Market, sell, and ship your art.
- I designed this course for my students when I was teaching at a community college in Fremont. It’s really for art but I think the main concepts are transferable to any other field. About me. I’m 53 and a realist painter who is making a reasonable living representing myself on line and not working with galleries any more. I have been making around 30 to 40 k a year.
Requirements
- No special skills or talent are required although having a body of art work or being interested in fine art and art history is a plus. Familiarity with Photoshop and social media is helpful but not required.
