Are you looking for new ways to sell art?

Then consider selling your art online through FineArtAmerica.com
SaatchiArt.com
Artfinder.com
and other online Galleries

 

SaatchiArt.com, FineArtAmerica.com, ArtFinder.com have revolutionized the way that artwork is bought and sold around the world.   With just a few clicks, you can upload digital images of your art, set your own prices, and sell those products to a global audience of online art buyers.   Some online markets, such as Fine Art America, handle all of the fulfillment. They make your art available to buyers, they make the sale, take care of the printing, framing, matting, packaging, shipping, they collect the money from the buyer, and they send you a royalty check.

Garry McMichael has been selling art prints and photography through Fine Art America since 2012. He has been selling original art through Saatchi Art since 2014.  In 2017 he started selling original art through ArtFinder.com. Over that time, he has built a steady, monthly income from art sales.  These sales have been all over the United States and from half way around the world in Australia and the United Kingdom.  Located in St Louis, Missouri these are markets Garry could never have reached through local art galleries. 

In this half-day workshop Garry will explain everything he has learned selling his art online. How to apply and set up your own online accounts, how to prep and upload images, set your prices and develop a marketing plan that will increase your exposure and create sales. Based on careful research, Garry will share with you what sells and what doesn’t, he will discuss pricing strategies and compare his experiences selling art on other online markets such as Imagekind, 500px, Etsy and through local art galleries. 

This workshop will be geared to both artists wanting to start selling their art online and artists who already have online accounts but are looking to improve their sales. If you want to learn more about turning your art into income, this workshop is for you. This will be a lecture, question/answer type of workshop. Garry will show you step-by-step how to work with Saatchi Art, ArtFinder.com and Fine Art America. 

To make sure everybody gets plenty of personal attention, the workshop will be limited to 16 participants.
