The idea for This Business of Art was born out of a desire to help artists create sustainable businesses around their art, by sharing what I have learnt over the past ten years.
"I believe all professional artists need business skills. It's not something we were generally taught in art schools; so it took me a long time to make a living from my art. I want to make it easier for other artists by sharing my experiences, so I've written a book to help artists build a business around their art." - Hannah Blackmore
This Business of Art is a business book for emerging artists, written by artist Hannah Blackmore.
We are living in the most exciting time in history to be an artist. The internet has revolutionised our possibilities and expanded our potential. Today, we can promote our work for free, grow our audience, and sell our work directly to collectors. However, in order to make it work, we need to learn the basics of business, marketing and sales, and this book will show you how. Written by practicing artist Hannah Blackmore, This Business of Art demonstrates how to increase your productivity, nurture your creativity and grow your business.
