AI and Fine Art Business, Part 2 🤖🎨

Hi Reader Last week I wrote a new blog post on the effect of AI on fine art businesses. The post had some great and thoughtful responses via email (people don't really comment anymore). A lot of artists are understandably upset about the mere suggestion that AI might be used anywhere in the creative process. As one reader said, creativity should remain in the hands of humans. See a great video discussion about this on Steven Zapata's YouTube channel. My response to that reader was that I'm...

Reader In his book Antifragile, Nassim Nicholas Taleb explains that some systems become more resilient and work better as they experience stress and chaos. Certain kinds of artmaking tends to behave in an antifragile manner. When randomness and chaos is introduced into the process, the art thrives and just works.

Instagram story about a webinar

Hi Reader If you caught yesterday's webinar with Artplacer on websites for artists, I hope you got a lot out of it. Our Instagram got blown up with a bunch of stories of people sharing stories about it, so that was fun. When people first subscribe to our email list, they get an auto-response email that asks them what their biggest challenge is when it comes to selling their art. I read them all, and reading those for years led me to creating our Start Here page which links to blog posts that...

Hello NAME UPDATE: the previous version of this email had the wrong link for Maria Brito's podcast episode. We're resending with the correct link here. Lots going on this week! We’re starting the next round of How to Sell Your Art 101 on June 26 (see below). Saw some awesome videos of artists showing off their successes this week, and Tasha Roth really nailed it when she pointed out that any time you put your prices online, someone gets upset, so why not go big and start at $5,000? What does...

Hi there Reader, What most artists do when they’re “doing social media” is try to grow their following one person at a time. Reciprocating comments and likes within their artist social circle. That doesn’t work too well - and it can be tedious. 🙄 In one of our discussion groups for TAA students, someone asked how a particular artist accumulated 75,000+ followers on Instagram. Big social media followings rarely happen organically any more. This has been true for years. The algorithms favor...

A media kit is a document you can show to a journalist or blogger that shows them who you are and why you matter to their audience. Sometimes it’s a single, multi-page document.
