🔥 What do you do to sell art 🎨 No Gatekeeping 💰
This is maybe the most important post till now. This post is going to help us all grow! 🔥 Let’s share all our knowledge. Sinds we are so much stronger together. We are now with 169 messy artists. What is incredibly! So let’s fire it up! And take over the art world 😂🙌🥳🔥 I go first 🥰 and than it’s your turn to start sharing and help your fellow artists friends grow and make a living of there art. No gate keeping 😉🥳💚 ————————————————- What I do to sell my art. 🎨 This is probably not the only or the very best way. But far I am really happy with my set up so far 🥰 ✅ Free Carrd site where I sell my originals + Linktree (does the job perfectly) My Carrd sites for an example, other example of my other business . HTTP://www.Sarlathideaway.carrd.co My link tree an example ✅ Ko-fi for gifs, commission and it has a shop! no crazy fees, 100% free! This is my link if you want to take a look https://ko-fi.com/responsiblymessyart ✅ set up a Stripe or PayPal account to collect money. PayPal cost (?) Stripes fees (around 5,5% ) ✅ I sell prints at Printumo. I have there my own shop in Printumo. They print & ship for you. Link here, check it out, and you are free to buy a print 😉❤️https://printumo.com/shop/messyart I make a photo of my artwork with my iPhone (16 pro) and upload it in Printumo as a TIFF file. ✅ Fair 50/50 galleries only (the ones that actually help you grow) I do not pay galeries. And only go 50/50 for galleries that really help me as an artist. I make my work 50 procent more expensive when it is in a gallery, so in the end it cost me 0. The work on my own site (other work, not the same as in the gallery)

I have had the thought that it makes sense to sell in order to literally and figuratively make space for new work, and afford the creative flow. I am still in that place of figuring out what art I Iove to make after a very long break. Selling is not my favourite thing though! I have often heard that you don't sell the art, you sell the story of that art and how it came to be - this works for my winemaker friend :) would anyone here agree?

I can see this happening with a few local (but internationally known) artists. I can also observe how the 'story' becomes the formula, and results in an artist trapped and unable to evolve as freely as they would like to. I really like Valèrie's approach to the practicalities of selling art, it makes sense to have clear boundaries that are simple but honouring to the artist. I think it would be a great place to begin.

It has taken me 25 years to put mark-making back on my priority list. Doing this every day makes me the best kind of happy!
