HI MARSHALL AND STAN !! i recently started listening to your podcasts and i’ve learned so much already. i take notes so i retain the information and you’re both so helpful, thank you! i hope i can take some online classes soon. and thanks for the beautiful singing introduction marshall! haha
How did he afford an art gallery and coffee shop though? In la that’s like what… a million at least? If it was through art, I think the steps would be super beneficial, I’m always interested in knowing what I have to do in terms of finance to chase certain dreams.
So let me see if I have this correct: Gallery takes 50% but you still have to do your own marketing and you cannot sell outside the gallery on your own website unless the work is in a different medium? What does the gallery do to earn that much of a percentage? What are the benefits of having gallery representation in this situation? It sounds restrictive and as though it takes advantage of the artist. This video has helped me know even more that I won’t be going down the gallery route when I sell my work.
50% for the gallery is just outrageous. Even 30% is. This is why so many people rather sell on their own sites. Don't get me wrong, I understand that the gallery has to make money and has all kinds of costs, and provides several services in the form of acting as an agent, promoting your work and so on, but why would I loose a whopping 30-50% when I can sell it on my own at no loss, or through other channels at a 10% or smaller rate?
I agree with you. That being said, they can sell your art for more than you would charge on your website (+ the other services they provide, their network, the marketing effort, exposure, representation, etc. so you have also more chance to sell with a gallery). For those reasons I think sometimes it may still be a profitable bet.
From what it sounds like, this is a fairly cheap street gallery with minimal incentive to show work there. If you’re starting out, you’ll probably be rejected since you lack clout, or you may be restricted to small group showings, which won’t pay the bills since the gallery has a low price point. If you are already a commercial artist who works in the industry, you really don’t need to show at a gallery to make money on the side
Narrative art is representational art that tells some kind of story, I think. As for "properties" it depends on context, but I think you're referring to a piece of media made for mass consumption and it's itself a brand, i.e. Frozen is a Disney property. My definitions might be slighly wrong but I hope they give you an idea
