Selling Work on Saatchi Art

Daniel Mullen is a Scottish artist based in Amsterdam who I spoke with a while back about Selling Work on Saatchi Art after seeing almost all of his paintings sold out. Most of his work is on his website and Instagram now but his tips for selling art are still just as relevant today. See also our artist interview and featured paintings.

Raising Funds to Make Art

The Creative Independent is a daily newsletter I’ve been dipping in an out of the last few weeks. Today’s edition (read it online here) by Siena Oristaglio offers advice on reaching out for community support using online fundraising platforms.

Outsider Art & Self Taught Art

Talk Art have recorded some seriously good interviews this year and their latest with Jennifer Gilbert of the Jennifer Lauren Gallery is one of their best. Jennifer’s passion for championing self-taught, disabled and overlooked artists is infectious and you’ll be Googling the artists as she relays their stories and practice.

I’m already a big fan of outsider art but I learned loads from this interview and it’s opened my eyes to how the art world can do better for artists with disabilities.
