The Contemporary Way of Selling Art That Outsells All Others
The artists who are succeeding today are succeeding from revenue that is coming from running their own art gallery business, online. They don’t rely only on other galleries. They don’t rely on any other middle-men to sell their art. It is important to note that most of them still sell in galleries. They still sell at local art fairs. They still do anything that has worked and earned them money.
However, they also run their own gallery. And that is the key difference.
If you speak to a traditional-minded and a contemporary-minded artist, you will find that they have a completely different mindset. The traditional-mindset artist has always thought about their website as a passive tool. They never thought of it as having any relation to running an art gallery business. It’s only ever been a glorified business card or a portfolio with a main purpose of supporting their traditional way of selling art.
Today, when you ask a traditional-mindset artist about how they plan to grow their business, their response always includes a mix of traditional methods.
Things like “I just need to get more galleries”.
Or “I just need a publisher to represent me or break into the interior design market.”
The contemporary-mindset artist is now on a slightly modified path. They still do everything a traditional-minded artist has been doing, but they also run their own art gallery business, online. It’s a completely different mindset. And when you have a different mindset, you think about your business and your future differently.
It changes your priorities, which changes what you decide to work on today as the next most important task. Contemporary-minded artists have the mindset that their art gallery website as if it was a digital version of their very own real physical retail art gallery.
A New Standard in Fine Art Print Fulfillment
Overhauling the print fulfillment model has always been a dream of ours.
The current options available to fine artists and photographers are automated, mass-production systems that lack the oversight required to produce work truly deserving of the label "fine art".
Sure, convenient ways to have your art printed automatically already exist - but who is looking out for you? Who is ensuring that the print vendors are maintaining a baseline of quality, and producing your prints with color-accuracy and consistency over time?
And while we're asking questions...how are you tracking your profits and costs? How do your business management tools help you spend your limited time effectively?
Artists deserve better a better system, and we decided to build it.
