Stop Waiting - 4 Ways to Start Earning from Your Art

If you are waiting for the right moment, gallery or person to make your art career click, you could be waiting forever. In this episode, Ceri shares four powerful ways to start earning from your art. Not someday, not once you feel ready, but today….right now. The strategies Ceri shares are insights that come from the real-world experience of Zawadi, an exceptional artist who had great networking skills and plenty of shows but was still not earning. Then, she joined The Artist Mastermind Circle, the peer support, coaching, forums and masterclasses, shifted everything and enabled Zawadi to take things to the next level and start earning. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understand what it really takes to be sales and commission ready.  Ceri´s provides a masterclass to give you a full understanding of how commercial galleries, agents and art advisors really work. Prepare the groundwork to make it easy for potential buyers to say yes. Maximise the advocates you already have. Re-connect with buyers and people you have worked with or for in the past. Don´t let fear and the avoidance behaviours that result from that fear continue to hold you back. Group coaching is a powerful way to open up, recognise what is holding you back and find the support you need to take the right action, break through and earn. Coaching doesn't just give you answers, it shows you how. Registration for the next The Artist Mastermind Circle starts on 13th May. BEST MOMENTS “If you're stuck in a loop, waiting to feel ready, wondering when your time will come, let this be the sign - your time is now.” “Join The Artist Mastermind Circle to get real-time feedback, insight and care from myself and artists like you.” “She wasn’t quite ready to sell, not because her work wasn´t strong, but because her systems were missing.” “That shift from feeling like an outsider to realising she had something valuable to offer was seismic.” PODCAST HOST BIO With over 30 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events. She sold artworks to major museums and private collectors and commissioned thousands of works across diverse media, from renowned artists such as John Akomfrah, Pipilotti Rist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and Vito Acconci.
