The business of art is something ignored by students until some degree of abilities is nurtured. You sell a painting to a neighbor, give a few away for gifts, and suddenly you are the 'go to' artist for every charity fundraiser in town!

How to you figure out the most effective methods of selling your art? How do you set up online sites...do you pay a monthly fee to join an artist community online...do you start a blog...pay hundreds of dollars for an art festival booth and hope weather cooperates?

How do you start collecting sales taxes...when is it necessary...how do you account for all your supplies...expenses...how do you incorporate all this into your pricing structure?

Business licenses? Income Tax? Art Gallery? Commissions? Percentages?

This is perhaps as big a category for artists as learning which end of a brush to use. MyAT will connect you with some of our favorite online sources for these topics as well as provide you with some of our own instructors for specific consultations.
