    As usual a stellar resource. My usual staple income comes from art fairs which sales were down 30% this year. This forced me to work my mailing list more which in the end meant I sold more of my originals than ever before and actually wound up with my best year ever. I just had to work things a little differently. Will lensroll to my Art Fair : Selling Art Tips lens.

    There's a lot of valuable information here - thank you. My concern is with art making an impact on better societies, which themselves should prevent further economic catastrophes. I uncovered some fairly shocking truths about some of the goings-on in art sales recently. Its all in my lens - why-buy-art. Congratulations on this one - you're a lensmaster of quality!

    Making a living as an artist in a bad economy ain't rocket science. One has to do the extra stuff to survive. I learned the business part of being an artist early, I repeat early. See the barn, paint the barn, sell the barn. Do this again and again. The artwork is a product and one has the option of selling that product. Purity leads to the poor house. There are a lot of artists who bank regularly. Market harder when the economy is tough. Do some alternative guerilla marketing stuff. I paid my house off ten years ago this year, so I could withstand not having sales for a while. In fact I can cherry pick the people I want to have my work. I sell my own work. I am a non starving artist by my own effort. See www.freewebs.com/bobragland

    I am not the best artist, I just give my art life the best effort.
    Marketing matters!!!!!!
