with host artist Miriam Schulman
What if you sold every piece of art you have tomorrow? Would you actually make enough to reach your income goal? Many artists assume they need better marketing or more collectors, when the real problem may be that they simply don’t have enough art available to sell. I’m breaking down the numbers behind your art inventory, pricing, and production capacity so you can see whether your current art business can realistically support the income you want. Because before you focus on selling out, you need to know whether you can actually afford to sell out.
“A revenue goal without an inventory plan is just a wish.” – Miriam Schulman
In this podcast, you will…
- Learn how to calculate the total value of your available art inventory and compare it to your revenue goal.
- Explore how many artworks you realistically need to sell to reach a six figure revenue goal.
- Discover how to plan your art fair inventory with original artwork, a showcase piece, and prints.
“Being fully booked sounds successful, but fully booked at the wrong prices can become an exhausting income trap.” – Miriam Schulman
