The Hidden Costs of Selling Your Work (Mini Ep.119)

When you think of building an art practice, your mind might go to all of your favorite artists. You think of their social media feeds and the gallery shows they promote. You dream about having one of their pieces in your home some day… and maybe you can. Because they SELL their work.

But building an art practice is not the same as building an art business. And while the benefits of an art business are many… we don’t talk enough about the costs. Because if you do decide to sell your work, there ARE costs. 

Let’s explore the physical, time, and physiological costs to selling your work. And then armed with this knowledge, you can make a more intentional decision about whether selling now, selling later, or selling never is right for you and your goals learning to paint.
