Selling Your Artwork

As a mosaic tile business owner, I see tons of completed works of art from my friends and clients. The question I get the most is "do you think I can sell my work?". Usually the answer is "yes". The next question should be, "where should I try to sell my work?".

There are a lot of bazaars, festivals, and art shows this time of year. Picking the right venue for your work is the difference between selling most of your pieces and selling none.

If your work is mostly bright colors and off the wall stuff, then an art festival is the best place for you. If you work is mostly classical such as religious items, then a craft festival is probably your best place. If you like to go to all sorts of gatherings then make sure to take a huge variety of stuff.

My point is that you need to research the show that you want to set up in before you even register. You don't want to show up at a show with all earthy pots when the show has all art deco stuff. The customers will know what to expect from a particular festival, so should you.
