This Professional Development Workshop will follow our AGM and General meeting on July 8th 2025.Free for 2025 financial members, $50 for non-financial members.
"Elegant Selling for Artists" – how to sell your art without feeling icky, uncomfortable or salesy.
Selling is not something you do to someone. It’s not about making people buy. It’s about an elegant exchange between artist and buyer that makes both parties happy.
In this interactive talk and workshop we’ll share what we know about selling – what works, what doesn’t.
We’ll discuss the purpose of selling your art – it may be to feed yourself or to feed your addiction to art supplies. Or something even deeper.
We’ll discuss practical strategies like:
· telling the stories of your art
· asking good questions to engage the potential buyer
· the elegant close – how to ask for the sale - without squirming
· how to upsell by offering more of what they want
and more.....
