with host artist Miriam Schulman
A lot of artists believe the market has slowed down, but the numbers tell a very different story. This month, artists inside my community reported more than $110,000 in art sales, and the patterns behind those sales reveal exactly what’s working right now. I’m breaking down where the money came from, why higher priced artwork consistently outperformed volume, and the simple decisions that helped artists reach career milestones they never thought possible. If you’ve been wondering whether collectors are still buying original art or what you should focus on next, these real world results will give you a much clearer picture of what’s possible.
“Artists who are selling higher end pieces are building a fundamentally stronger business than artists doing volume.” – Miriam Schulman
In this podcast, you will…
- Explore how commissions became one of the highest earning categories for artists.
- Understand why larger artwork and stronger pricing created bigger breakthroughs.
- Create a plan to grow your art business by focusing on the actions that actually lead to sales.
“Commissions are the highest paying thing in this entire month, and they don’t come from posting. They come from outbound marketing. They come from asking.” – Miriam Schulman

Listener shout out of the week!
I was in the Inner Circle, which is where I truly found my artistic voice and messaging, was the biggest accomplishment and has made all the difference for me. I then discovered a clear path of how I needed to move forward to accomplish my goals. In the Incubator and Inner circle I defined my goals more clearly, which allowed me to take action, I have weekly emails, linkedin profile, youtube channel, updated website as well. I have reached out to many museums, galleries and organizations to share my message and work.
