The Business of Art Seminar Description |
|
|
|
Are you ready to turn your hobby into a business? Have you been selling your art, but phrases such as a Section 179 deduction, a tax number, and the “Creative Property Exclusion to the Uniform Capitalization Rule” sound like a foreign language? Unsure about how to price your work or find the right gallery? Art is a business, and the more artists themselves treat it as such, the more the general public can also be educated about the value of artwork. |
|
Topics covered will include: |
|
∙ Getting started as a business ∙ Taxes for artists: federal business deductions, state tax numbers, and the question of keeping inventories ∙ Contracts with clients and galleries ∙ How to approach a curator: what a curator looks for, the submission packet, preparing a CD ROM, and questions to ask a potential new gallery ∙ Pricing and Presentation: how to price your work and professionally present it through choices of matting and framing ∙ Diversifying your income and innovative marketing: several ways to make a living as an artist |
|
After a lecture component, time permitting, participants are welcome to bring submission packets for an informal critique. Participants will receive a lot of handouts with this seminar. |
|
Times for both seminars will include a lunch break. |
|
"I have waited 20 years to hear what you had to say.... What you covered in your class should be mandatory for every art student." |

"I was given the inspiration and freedom to abstract the colors of the landscape in order to express my emotional response to it. Amy’s individual attention and advice was invaluable to me as I painted." |
