with host artist Miriam Schulman
The rules are changing, but not in the way fear-driven headlines would have you believe. In this episode, Miriam breaks down what’s actually shifting in the art market—from collector psychology and gallery expectations to pricing norms and visibility. This isn’t about panic or working harder. It’s about clear positioning, compelling storytelling, and aligning your message with values-driven buyers. If you want to sell more art without burning out, these insights will help you prepare now instead of scrambling later.
“Collectors buy meaning, not medium.” – Miriam Schulman
In this podcast, you will…
- How collector psychology is shifting toward values-driven buying
- Why your artist statement matters more than technical perfection
- How galleries are evolving and what they expect from artists today
“Working harder is not going to save you. Working smarter and being more aligned is what’s going to get you more success in 2026.” – Miriam Schulman
