with host artist Miriam Schulman
Today, I’m diving into how I sold THOUSANDS of dollars of art last weekend at a sleepy outdoor show in the local park.
In this podcast, you will discover…
- What to say to close the sale!
- What motivated my art collectors to buy.
- Ninja tricks I used to help me stand above and beyond the other artists at the show.

What’s the biggest bottleneck holding your art business back?
Maybe it feels like pricing. Maybe it’s finding the right collectors, choosing the right opportunities, or figuring out what deserves your attention next. Or maybe you can see 3 different directions your business could go, and you’re tired of guessing which one is right.
That’s what we’re working on at the Chelsea Artpreneur Studio, October 28–29 in New York City.
This isn’t a conference or another workshop where you leave with forty new ideas. I’m bringing together a small group of established artists for two days of hands-on strategy built around the actual problems you bring into the room. We’ll look at your business, figure out what’s really holding it back, make the decisions, and map out exactly what comes next.
You’ll also have a professional branding portrait session, plus plenty of time around the table with a small group of artists who take their businesses as seriously as you do.
You’ll leave knowing what’s actually holding your business back, what needs to change, and most of all, what to do next.

About the host, Miriam Schulman
In case we haven’t met yet, I’m an artist and founder of The Inspiration Place, where I help other artists learn how to profit from their passion. Through online classes, business coaching programs, and a top-ranked podcast, I’ve helped thousands of artists around the world develop their skill sets and create more time and freedom to do what they love. My signature coaching program, The Artist Incubator, helps artists go from so-so sales to sold-out collections.
After witnessing 9/11, I abandoned a lucrative hedge fund job to work on my art full time. Since then, my art and story have been featured in major publications including Forbes, What Women Create, The New York Times, Art of Man, Art Journaling magazine, Professional Artist Magazine, Igniting Creativity as well as featured on NBC’s “Parenthood” and the Amazon series “Hunters” with Al Pacino. Check out my best-selling book with HarperCollins Leadership, Artpreneur: The Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Sustainable Living From Your Creativity, wherever books are sold. When I’m not in the studio, I split my time between New York City and a farmhouse in the country.

Thank you, Miriam…Wow, what a goldmine of information! I will listen again & take notes. I have become a big fan recently and am broken hearted that I missed the September 25 deadline for your Passion Portraits series. I love your style & have watched several of your videos. Is there any chance you will offer that again? I would be first in line.
So glad you’re a fan! Sorry that you missed the series, but if you stay on the Inspiration Place mailing list, you`ll be the first to know about the next free training series, and we hope that you will join us for the next program!!
Always enjoy hearing your approach. Thanks for sharing.
Miriam, thanks so much. I have taken several of your classes and found this information hugely helpful. Question: When you mat your original watercolors for your shows, do you display them in an acetate sleeve? or How? I find if I frame them, I have the cost of the frame which I don’t want to add to the painting sell price, as the buyer will usually reframe them anyway. Also the glass reflects badly depending on the lighting at the show. Acetate causes the same reflection issues. How do you display the matted originals?
Thank You.

Hi Deborah,
Great questions! Could you please ask them in a comment inside one of your Inspiration Place classrooms? That way, Miriam will better be able to see them and answer them for you.
Thank you!
