Question

Are there any painters who can share how they sell their artwork??
I have my webpage artecontemporaneomx.tk but still haven't sold a thing this year.

Answer 1

dear Wonder it is too long to talk about selling work on here E-mail me if you should decide you want some more info.. I have owned two galleries and used to show in five galleries around the country am getting back into it again this next month in reference to your question the BFA or BA is barely a door opener you should be prepared to become a pro if that is what you want as that degree is just the tip of the iceberg in the grand scheme of paper chases in the academic world' I know because I have a 47 hour masters and 11 years as a university prof, plus two inclusions in Who's Who Americans Teachers.

Answer 2

I have a BA in Graphic Design and I work at a car dealership.

Honestly, I do photography on the side, and every job I've had that required use of my degree paid a little over minimum wage.

I ended up where I am because I stopped dedicating 100% of myself to a career in visual arts. If that is the path you really want to take, there's going to be some poor times, unless you can find another means of income that doesn't destroy nearly all of your free time. It would definately be easier if you didn't have a family. Not that it's impossible with a family... But if you know of someone working in this field that has a 9-5, they're lucky.

Bottome line, never lose your passion, and keep doing what you do. Opportunities will arise, but you may have to make a name for yourself before this "business venture" starts to pay off.

Sorry I couldn't be more help as for ways to sell your work. Photography's a different beast than painting.

I suppose I should just stay out of this section.

Answer 3

I can't think of any off the top of my head, you'll probably have to go further (sorry, but I don't know what else to suggest) and get a Masters of PH.d before you can set yourself up as a psychologist. The BA might qualify you to get on another course outside University to become a Psychologist, or you could go into teaching as a psychology teacher or a school counselor (obviously you'd need more qualifications for this). I recognise that my degree - a BA in Philosophy and Ethics - is of little value in the job market on its own. That's why throughout my time at university I will be working, paid and unpaid, at radio stations and getting work experience at large media corporations so that I'll have both a degree and a trade once I leave. Then I can carve myself a niche as a journalist by reporting specifically on Religious, ethical or legal issues using the expertise I gained from my degree.

Answer 4

Having a bachelors in visual arts is a broad range, it depends on where you want your focus to be such as illustration, graphic design, television/film, animation or game art. Once you narrow down your focus in any one of the visual art categories you then can search specifically what job you want.
