409: Why Your Art Isn't Selling (It's Not the Economy)

Your art career may not need a different economy. It may need a clearer message and a stronger connection to the people already looking for work like yours. If you've been showing up consistently, creating meaningful work, and wondering why your sales still feel inconsistent, this conversation is here to offer a different perspective rooted in clarity rather than fear. I'm sharing what's actually happening in today's art market and why collectors are still actively investing in art across every price point. We'll talk about how positioning shapes the way your work is perceived, why the language you use matters more than most artists realize, and how small shifts in messaging can completely change the way collectors respond to your art. This episode is designed to help you step out of uncertainty and reconnect with the value, meaning, and emotional resonance your work already holds. 💡 You'll Learn Why reaching the right audience matters more than trying to reach everyone How stronger positioning and storytelling can help collectors connect more deeply to your work Why collectors are still actively buying art and what builds confidence in today's market 🎧 Tune in for a grounded conversation about visibility, collector psychology, and how to position your art with greater clarity and confidence in 2026. 🎙️About Miriam Schulman Miriam Schulman is an artist business coach, working artist, and author of Artpreneur: The Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Sustainable Living from Your Creativity, published by HarperCollins Leadership.
