What Independent Publishing Can Teach Visual Artists – Eric Rhoads
“One has to focus on strategy instead of tactic: tactic is the thing you’re going to do, strategy is the plan of how you’ll get respect, get well-known and get people to buy your work.”
Why Are You Working for Free? Examining Arts Labor – Alexis Clements
“There is a shame around making money off of swag or reproductions or something else that isn’t art—but that is making money off of art.”
How to Collaborate with Museums – Seth Hopkins
“Art is a cool business—it’s the only one I know where the customer often buys dinner.”
Best Practices to Engage With Curators – Dr. Catherine Futter
They’re not separate at all—the market and museum—there are galleries now where there’s very little work in the exhibition that’s for sale. They’re publishing books and ‘competing’ with museums. The lines are becoming blurrier and some of that is positive.”
How to Meet Stakeholder Demands – Holly Van Hart
“I don’t mind letting people see the process and where I go wrong, that’s part of the creative process and what people are interested in.”

“I see a lack of confidence standing in people’s way, they don’t trust what they’re thinking, they don’t trust what they’re painting, and as soon as they get a little confident I see a huge change.”
Translate Social Media to Sales – Gregg Chadwick
“Every day something new happens in the world and art is really primed to look at those global changes and shifts.”
On Selling Tools of the (Art) Trade – Ron Whitmore
“An artist recently said this to me about success: ‘You really just keep doing what you feel you need to be doing and if you do it long enough people believe it too’.”
