Professional Development
for Artists: Sales Skills
Many artists would rather paint than sell.
Selling art is a whole other skill set than
the creation of art. We live in a society
where people appreciate our art and are
willing to buy, but only if they see value
and feel a connection to the artist and/
or their work. This workshop is about
learning to develop the fundamental sales
skills required to be a seller of art. The
SAGA Artist’s Business Development
Series consists of four workshops, where
artists are coached and empowered in
the practice of running an art business.
