I love art galleries. I have been going to them for many years now and have always wanted my own wall art. I like the paintings and photographs that are available in the galleries but they are just too expensive for me to buy and so I never really got anything. When I found out about the Art Gallery Store X Owner Collaboration, I decided to be a part of it.
What we learned from the project
We had a very specific vision of what we wanted our wall art to look like. We knew what we liked and did not want anything different at all. We had a very clear view about the type of art that we liked; it was bold, colorful, and abstract. We looked around a lot on our own just to get an idea of how much it would cost us to commission our own artists or artists who create similar art and were surprised by the prices that they offered. So we decided that instead of hiring someone else and working with them, we would hire someone who could help us find our own artist in order for us to work with him directly. We thought this would give us more control over the whole process since there would be no middleman involved at all.
Our first step was to go online and search for some artists who create bold
It is no secret that most people buy art to decorate their homes, and you can find the art of the masters in almost any home. But not all, and those who do have one or two pieces of art in their homes like to add more. For these people it is not always easy to find art that they like and that fits the interior of their home. This is where an art gallery store comes into play, by offering a wide range of styles and artists.
In this article we will share with you what we learned from our experience about art, finding the right artists, dealing with the whole process, etc. We hope this will help you when you want to decorate your home with some beautiful pieces of art or if you want to start your own business in this field.
The following article is a guest post by my wife, Andrea. She’s an artist and our experience with art was slightly different than with the store itself. I think her insights are valuable and I asked her if she would like to share them with you.
The Art Gallery Store x Owner Collaboration Project
When I started The Art Gallery Store, my husband and I had planned on putting up some artwork for sale that I had done – this was before we learned about the wonders of print-on-demand (POD) and how it could help grow our business. POD is a process that uses digital printing to create small batches of products (books or in our case prints), which can be printed in any quantity at any time. It has many advantages over the old methods of manufacturing large quantities of something at once, which results in wasted resources when the item doesn’t sell.
So we had decided we were going to put up some of my art for sale, but we had no idea how much work there would be involved in doing so. There is A LOT of work involved, especially if you’re selling a lot of different types of items. We decided to start small and focus on just one type: canvas prints. We selected several of my paintings and created
We make this an ongoing feature on our blog where we will share some of the experiences from running our art gallery store. We hope these stories will be helpful to other art lovers who are thinking of launching a gallery store of their own.
Description: The entire experience with finding our artist, the entire process and dealing with the paint and frame companies was very overwhelming for us. We had no idea how to find artists, what to look for and what things to avoid. After all, this was our first time dealing with artists.
So here are some of the tips that we would like everyone to consider when they are going through their own project. These are some of the things that we learned from running our project.
If you’re looking to create an original piece of art for your home, there are a lot of ways to get it done. But the process can be intimidating and the result is often disappointing.
The best way to make something beautiful is to create a relationship with an artist and let them design something amazing based on your ideas.
In this blog post we’ll tell you about our experience with two artists who were recommended by two different gallery owners. We’ll also give you some tips and advice on how to find the right artists, what to expect from them and what to do after you’ve received your masterpiece.
I wanted to create a collection of unique art, where each piece would tell a story. I wanted to share my experience with you and provide a useful resource where individuals could find the artist of their dreams and make their own dream pieces with the help of an expert.
My goal was to inspire people and to let them see how much fun it is to be in this business. I want people to get inspired by the process and say: “Hey, I can do this as well!”
I also want people who are already established artists to see how we work and how our gallery works. We were open for two years until June 2014. During that time we sold over 500 art pieces. It is not that easy but it is possible!
This blog will teach you everything you need to know about starting your own art business and making your own dream pieces come true!
Every art gallery owner loves to bring new artists on board, but not all of them like to get their hands dirty. What we offer is a way to showcase your creations and sell it online.
Trying to find a good artist can be hard, here are some steps to consider:
1. Find someone who understand the value of their work and is willing to work with you and your organization on pricing. Not everyone is ready or willing to give you a great deal on the price of the artwork they want you to hang up in your gallery.
2. Ask yourself if this artist will gain more exposure by selling through your gallery. Some of the best known artists in modern history never sold a piece through a gallery and their works are now worth millions of dollars, because they sold directly to collectors. If you want your artists to grow as an artist, let them have the chance to have collectors buy from them, even if it means giving them less profit per unit sold than if you were to handle the sales for them.
3. Make sure that what you’re buying is unique. You don’t want any one else being able to buy the same piece from another gallery or artist.
