Holy COW man. Thank you. I was not expecting a shout out. That was awesome, amazing, shocking. Now I regret posting the farmville procrastination problem that I had. Cookies are Awesome!
Local hospitals have tons of wall space to fill! Sometimes they even have an art curator to contact. I also show some seasonal art at local orchards as part of a "gift shop", but that depends on the kind of art you do too.
Another place to consider is Doctor's offices/waiting rooms. I was in a doctor's waiting room a little while ago and there was some nice artwork on the walls.
I used to sell at flea markets, loved it, it was great experience. I tried online stores it does not work so much. Now I am on fb it kinda works. Now I will try this restaurant things. I used to call them and offer them to buy my art got rejected, so I now I will simply offer them to show it with price tag, that tip was helpful, thanks. And i hate these arrogant art gallery workers that make that face (like oh no,here it comes again) when u just simply say them that u are an artist:(((
I am going to try hospitals the hospitals here are massive.as well as the smaller ones. The hospitals also do solo exhibitions to showcase new artists.
Years ago we had a movie theater that had an area where they put up mini walls and had an open artist gallery. It was done in the open lobby. It was very 60s art, it was cool, and felt very chic. Well, that was back in the day when movie houses were fun to go to, a real event. The architecture of the places alone just made you feel special to be there. In Minnesota (Uptown) we had a cool place where they projected moving clouds on the ceiling while you watched the movie,.... Who's going to watch the ceiling, when you paid to see the movie,... But that's just what I mean,... That's attention to the extra details that we don't have anymore. Some of the places had stuff like antiqued flower carpet, ornate staircases, designer chairs in the lobby for waiting for someone in the bathroom.... Even the bathrooms were special... Oh, those were the days.🤗😄
I have seen artists show their work at "open houses" put on by realtors. You could contact builders and your local real estate association to ask about possibly hanging your art any of their open houses.
I listen to all you and Cle's videos. I haven't gone through all snd please keep making them. You both have an amazing spirit and I love that you share so much. My husband and I work together in my paint and sip sessions. I hope to start our RUclips page in the near future. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. They truly inspire me and give me hope.
I know the public library in my town lets you show your art for free for a set time. They pretty much accept everyone, but there is a line so you might be a few months or so out. If youre still in the panhandle its crestview.
I second Farmers Martkets. I would caution artists not to expect regular sales because most folks are there to buy produce. Price points are also lower than at a gallery or an arts and craft fair. For me, it's been a great way to get validation for my work.
Thanks for the info Rafi:) Just wondering could you do some kind of tutorial on how you put together your art website? Or a tutorial on approaching a gallery or some other company/restaurant to get your art out there? I know I'm terrible at approaching people and im sure there's probably others like me too. It'd be much appreciated 😃
Very motivating. I'm buried in my spray paint art and half to get back to the flea market now that its cooling off. This video gave me a plethora of other ideas too. I dont know what plethora means but it sounds like a lot so I'm going with it.
Do you have a video on your portfolio that you would show during a portfolio visit? What's the proper way to do an open studio, studio visit, or portfolio visit from your house (apartment)?
awesome! I feel so confirmed about selling at the local flea market as a first step. I was thinking doctors, dentists or thrift stores, but that means I'd have to convince someone else about my work. Better to be able to just rent a cheap table at a flea market!
Wow...I gotta watch this again and again...I couldn't even take notes it was so awesome!! LOL...Yeah, I love all these ideas and can't wait to try some that I haven't done...well, like most of these...number 1 I need to get a portfolio going...I'll see it you have a vid on that...and i'm just curious, how long have you been going at this now...I mean, since you went full time? I just love your process and diligence. so inspired. For starters, I'm going to do the Farmer's Markets and more cafes and shoot for restaurants too. Then, corporate offices sound good and all the other ideas after those. Thanks again!!!
I’m watching this a little late, but I have a question about rejection. Be it due to a late entry, lack of appropriate space, or a juried process that the administrators just don’t connect with your art, how exactly do you go about handling this? Do you ask what about your work doesn’t jive with their vibe? Maybe attend the show as a visitor to see for yourself? And if you have loose leaf drawings, how do you go about presenting those items for sale, rather than just loose papers? I’m not a huge fan of framing, bit I could see how this may be beneficial, or attaching them to a wood block or a canvas somehow?
Always enjoy your videos. When putting your art in a restaurant/ coffee shops or corporate offices... how do you actually tag your art so that the viewers can find you?
Great video. Very informative. Then again, all your videos are! I've done a few local coffee shops and breweries with no succes yet but I have had decent success at a monthly Art Walk. My first "big" art fair (they claim more than 25k visitors each year) is in Ocala, FL this October and then I'm showing again in the St. Augustine art festival Nov 30/Dec 1. After gauging my success or lack of and seeing what works and what doesn't, I'd like to consider more of this type of art fair. You mentioned online reviews by artists. I've done a little searching but haven't been able to find much. Is there a particular site that houses these reviews? Is there an "Angies List" for art fairs? Thanks again for all these great videos and your podcast! Keep up the great work!
As someone wanting to work at my artwork and maybe boost my confidence with some sales in the future, I really appreciated this!! I was recently sketching in a cafe and the owner approached me to ask if I ever did anything for shops - I turned her down initially but now I may reconsider!! How do you deal with the feeling of "my art isn't good enough" though?
I will tell you this I know lots of artists who make terrible art but earn a lot of money by selling their shitty paintings. And I know people with great talent but they can not sell any painting at all. So it is all about entrepreneurship. If you wanna do it then just do it. It is all about hard work and never give up on ur dreams.
Honestly, I can’t answer that for you. I will say, they didn’t really do it for me, but I know some artists who use them. However, I would recommend teespring.

Hello I'm still waiting for customers to sell my work on etsy I started it since march, I displayed my other work at the gallery and still no luck, I got the flea market that I booked on saturday, I'm also thinking of getting a art dealer or art agent.
Thanks! I really suck. I feel like my designs are pretty awesome and would sell but I don't know how to promote properly so all my awesome work is just sitting in the dark.

I thought of them to sell to
I have live painted at a few local breweries and have work hanging there. Also, a very cool ice cream shop had my work for a bit.
Great suggestions. I LOVE THAT T SHIRT!!!!!
Another place to consider is Doctor's offices/waiting rooms. I was in a doctor's waiting room a little while ago and there was some nice artwork on the walls.
I really appreciate artists giving other artists tips ! These seemed like good ones
No way fancy seeing you here Coratison.

Thanks, this is very useful. Some I haven't discovered in Israel yet, I am on the look out.
What are your thoughts on fine art America and society 6
I don't use them any more... hmmm... at least I don't think I do, I better check.
@@Rafiwashere Are they worth trying, sounds like you tried them at some stage?
Honestly, I can’t answer that for you. I will say, they didn’t really do it for me, but I know some artists who use them. However, I would recommend teespring.
@@Rafiwashere Thank you, your answer did provide information that is helpful. Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Rafi Was Here Studios wow, that surprising!! thank u! 😊
My day job has actually shown art before so if I ever wanted to show my art in their lobby I could just talk to my managers
So eh, that's a kinda stupid question but at what age can someone start selling art? x) Because I have absolutly no idea.
So helpful! Thank you Rafiiii
Btw my nickname is also Raf :') ♥
Banks?
Question: What makes you feel prepared for a show?
Lol! I always feel like I don't have enough. I get so anxious every time. Will people like my stuff? Do I have enough? How am I going to set up? Am I going to make any money? ......I'm ok once I get everything set up and get started..but I never feel prepared even when I am
Hello I'm still waiting for customers to sell my work on etsy I started it since march, I displayed my other work at the gallery and still no luck, I got the flea market that I booked on saturday, I'm also thinking of getting a art dealer or art agent.
🤟😎🤟
if you have any advise how to get people to your online store without feeling like you're spamming them with etsy links that would be great
I would also like some advice on coming up with good hashtags for my art on facebook and twitter. How do you share on social media to the right folks?
There are things that I have made that I feel are pretty awesome, but it seems when it comes to promoting online I am a failure.
Thanks! I really suck. I feel like my designs are pretty awesome and would sell but I don't know how to promote properly so all my awesome work is just sitting in the dark.
Hahaha I had a yard sale and did put my art out too, but I did not advertise about the art. I really don't think in my area people would come to a yard sale and buy my art. Most people going to yard sales are looking for dirt cheap S...! Thanks for your videos!
also restaurants? the last place you should ever show art.
Ok so if I have stuff on etsy, how does the sharing and working go? How do I do this properly?
I just spend the last three days trying to promote my designs on twitter and totally failed. I must suck.
How do you deal with the art thieves on social media who stole your art, removed the watermark, and are selling it?
Brilliant. Should’ve thought of that. Lol
are u supposed to apply a finish to all paintings before shows?
What varnish do u suggest?
Skip to 10:40 to get past all the chatter and to the best part of the video. ~ You're welcome.
people who show their artworks in FB. Do you know that everything that you share in FB: IS FB PROPETY, right?
No one has money at the flea markets
Cheap skates 🕺 you'll be in competition with someone selling used underwear and socks 🧦👙👀
I love you guys! This was great! I got a ton of ideas...well maybe it was only 12 or 15 but they rocked. Visit me at www.katelynmariahvisionaryartist.com
Flea Markets? lol. be more discerning. good lord.
Really great info! Thank you!
Thanks Rafi.
