Local businesses are often the best places to sell your original arts and crafts.
JOIN REGIONAL ART ASSOCIATIONS
Most communities have an art association of some kind.
Most art associations sponsor regular gallery shows in their own meeting place or in a town hall or library meeting room.
Art association meetings include regular demonstrations (of art technique) by artists who will usually sell some art to the members, too.
Start by creating a form letter that you'll send to every art association in the phone book.
USE THE ART ASSOCIATION'S CONTACTS FOR LOCAL SALES
Many art associations have working relationships with local businesses, especially restaurants, bookstores, beauty salons, and banks... anyone with blank wall space that wants an "art show" to generate interest. Next to each piece of art, place the art association's business card. On it, write the title of the art, the artist, the price, and how to contact the art association for more information.
If your local art club hasn't done this before, help them to set it up.
HELP YOUR ART CLUB TURN PROFESSIONAL
If you are in an art association that doesn't have a working relationship with local businesses, bring it up at the next business meeting.
ART ASSOCIATIONS AND CREDIT CARD PURCHASES
The art association takes a percentage of the sales, usually about 20%.IF YOU CAN'T FIND THE RIGHT ART GROUP FOR YOUR WORK
If you don't have a local art association--or if their interests don't match yours--start your own.
