Control How Your Art Business is Perceived – Maria Brophy
“When you’re younger, it’s fun to get that pat on the back, but you learn quickly that a pat on the back doesn’t pay the mortgage.”
Create Your Own Success – Dean Mitchell
“I’m no Salvador Dalí, but I have built enough of a market that now I can start to work on leaving a legacy.”
How to Find Your Audience – Mary Ann Weems
“Average people were very afraid to walk into galleries. Affordability became the key. You didn’t feel the intimidation.”
Beyond Arts Education: Why Artists Need Business Training – Betsy Ehrenberg
“Sometimes they [artists] think earning money, charging for their work, is not something they want to do. They feel embarrassed to do so. It’s an attitude, I have no idea where it begins, but a lot of artists just look at the word ‘money’ and see a four letter word.”
Manage a Successful Art Career – Dan Anthony
“As an artist, you need to be as prolific as you can because you will need a body of work to solidify your situation.”
Art Collections Management: Caring for Your Collection – Maura Kehoe Collins
“Documentation is a very important part of the object and the care of collections.”
Student Curated Art Collections: A New Way to Experience Art – James Kitchen
“Young people need to have that experience and the effects can be dramatic over a lifetime. Experiencing an artwork in person is so much different than seeing it on a phone.”
Recognizing the Legacies of Overlooked Artists – Peter Trippi
“I think living artists should be very optimistic that there’s still a healthy appetite for art… It’s just occurring in different ways.”
