Being Present Can Help Increase Art Sales with Sarah Becktel (#157)

In this episode, I talk with Sarah Becktel about her sources of
income and how she has increased her income by 25% in the last 3
years by being very deliberate about where and how she shows her
work.


Sarah does sell through galleries, but she has recently increased
her self-sales by 400% by focusing on 3 specific types of indoor
shows every year. She breaks them down as follows:


One indoor art fair, which she considers her solo exhibition
for the year

Two fine art and craft shows

One curated and juried holiday market



You’ll hear Sarah discuss the difference among these, including
their costs and the type of work she brings to each.

️ COMING UP: THE MONEY PLAN


If you aren’t clear about where your money is coming from, I
strongly encourage you to figure it out. It’s only with that
clarity that you can plan properly for the future. I can help
with that.


Soon after the release of this episode I’ll be leading The Money
Plan artist success workshop. Seating at the live sessions of the
workshop—where you can ask questions and interact with other
artist-planners—will be limited, and there will also be a replay
available. But if you want to attend live, you need to get on the
interest list. You can hit pause right now and go to
artbizsuccess.com/moneyplan to make sure you don’t miss it.
