You have an extraordinarily generous spirit Molly, thank you for sharing what you know. You are clear, succinct and friendly, you are also easy to listen to and speak to people on a level which does not make them feel ignorant or silly. Thank you x
Thanks Molly! I just applied to my first festival and you had JUST the right energy and information I needed to feel excited for it. Thank you for being so vulnerable and generous. I have really loved this new adventure and I think it's time to get my art in front of people. You've given me such confidence. Best of luck and maybe we'll see each other at a future show!
Molly, I have just begun to think about selling and this video is awesome! I know I will be watching it repeatedly! And I will definitely will try to follow one of your last comments, help someone, pass along what you do know. That is one of the best pieces of advice! Thank you!
Thank You Molly! I have been thinking about this. Your video gives a realistic outline, and that’s very important. I now know that I am not going to be ready by this summer... but I will attend several shows and aim for the next summer. Have a great day.
Thank you! I am glad you like it! I could have talked for hours about this lol! I feel like you will never feel totally ready! You just gotta jump! Good luck!
Molly thanks so much. BUT I couldn’t take my eyes off the painting over your couch, please tell me you made a video of painting it. Ok I feel better after watching both art show videos and I’ll watch them a few times more. My husband will be busy making my pro panels but he supports me 100% and he likes your (that girl from south Florida) videos. Thumbs up Molly you have really helped me.
Lots of very very useful information. Thank you for posting....it sure answers alot of questions I had but not sure who to ask....to bigger and better Art Shows..... Happy Painting....
Thanks so much for this video, Molly. I'm about to do my first art festival and getting nervous/overwhelmed by everything that goes into this event. I appreciate the encouragement you gave 😊
Great info and you are so organized .. I am so happy it was successful , you worked hard to get it possible Good for you Molly . Your amazing and thanks for sharing . Keep up the good work you are an amazing artist 😉
Molly - a quick question. What is the foil looking packing that you have your paintings wrapped in. I have been wrapping mine in packing paper and (I thought) packing them carefully but my heart broke when I found that 2 of my paintings were damaged during packing, transport and unpacking for my show. I'm looking for a better way. Thanks for your help and shared knowledge ... it means so much to me.
That has happened to me before too and it's terrible! I use foil lined bubble wrap and it is thick and great for transport. It's in my amazon shop that is linked below the video. The one I got was over 100 feet long and 4 feet wide. It was 126 dollars I think, but comes in 4 huge rolls and covered all of my artwork. It was totally worth the buy and the buyer can use it to take the painting home when sold. I use it as well when I am mailing out large paintings. When mailing them out I would make sure as well that you cover with paper, then the bubble wrap to protect the surface. For shows I dont add the paper because they are not in the package too long. Hope this helps!
No, you do not have to have a company, you can pay show by show. But I would recommend applying for and getting your company so that you can get your appropriate tax breaks, write offs, and everything will be documented. It has been a long haul of getting everything set up. Hope it is worth it on the end lol. Where in fl if you dont mind me asking?
@@michellerenee365 it is, but I would just say go for it! If you gave a supply of paintings and you have the money to invest, why not! There are a lot of shows in Tampa!
Molly, I know this video was a long time ago for you, but I so appreciate it. I am waiting to hear if I am accepted into Artigras as emerging artist. I live in St. Pete, FL, my son is a senior at FAU. I am excited and afraid. I appreciate all these tips, because I have no idea what I am doing in this area. Would you be willing to talk with me/mentor me a bit in this area? Through the A-Z course all 3 of you helped me get "all in" with my art. I have so many questions. I appreciate any feedback you are willing to share.. Thank you again, I am sure I will watch several times. Kelly
That depends on each count and state. Some require a vendor license some a business license and some none at all. I would check with your states department of revenue. I am llc
@@MOLLYSARTISTRY Thank you for taking time out of your busy life to answer.. I started just to relax and have fun... And to make art for family gifts.. Now I have orders for Commission orders to fill. And wasn't sure on prices, etc
Thank you so much Molly. This is very informative and strategically done.
Excellent information, Molly. There's so much more to do and think about than I realized. Thanks for sharing with us.

Love the painting behind you!! Is there a video for that one?
not for that one specifically, its a 2ft x 4ft piece, but i did this smaller one the same way!
ruclips.net/video/KicL_nrsgps/видео.html
may I ask why do you sign the back and not the front?
and did it change since than (the video was made 4 yrs ago)?
no, I still sign the back. I don't want it to distract from my work :)
Thanks for the great info. I am in Florida and I need to figure out the sales tax deal. Do you have to have a company set up?
No, you do not have to have a company, you can pay show by show. But I would recommend applying for and getting your company so that you can get your appropriate tax breaks, write offs, and everything will be documented. It has been a long haul of getting everything set up. Hope it is worth it on the end lol. Where in fl if you dont mind me asking?
MOLLY'S ARTISTRY I’m in Tampa. I’ve been looking into shows and it is a lot to take in. Lol
@@michellerenee365 it is, but I would just say go for it! If you gave a supply of paintings and you have the money to invest, why not! There are a lot of shows in Tampa!
I definitely have a supply of paintings. Lol. Thanks for the advice! I love your work!
What do you use for credit card purchases.
I used the square reader that I talk about in my video.
Thx ❤️👍🏻👍🏻
You're welcome!
Do you offer to sell prints or do you sell your originals?
I sell originals
Your such a sweet heart ❤️
Molly, I know this video was a long time ago for you, but I so appreciate it. I am waiting to hear if I am accepted into Artigras as emerging artist.

yay! that was my first show as an emerging artist as well! it is an amazing show. yes send me an email to info@mollys-artistry.com
Gosh Molly that sound like a second full time job for you
it really is!
Did you make cards with acrylic?
which cards do you mean?
@@MOLLYSARTISTRY ‘birthday’, ‘good well’, etc. cards
@@ruthgrover3335 no but you totally can!
Molly first of all thank you for this video I am curious about taxes .Do you have a business for tax billing?
yes I do
Molly.. Do you need a business license for selling your art???
That depends on each count and state. Some require a vendor license some a business license and some none at all. I would check with your states department of revenue. I am llc
@@MOLLYSARTISTRY Thank you for taking time out of your busy life to answer..
I started just to relax and have fun... And to make art for family gifts.. Now I have orders for Commission orders to fill.
And wasn't sure on prices, etc
You need a mic here. It’s super hard to hear you sweetie.
Thanks for the feedback
