Episode 5: Why People Buy Art

Creative Type Podcast: Conversations for visual artists and art lovers

If you’re an artist who sells their work, or wants to, do you understand the reasons why people buy original artwork? Have you ever thought about their motivation or even personally asked them what is it about the piece that moved you to purchase your work?

It’s not always as obvious as we might think. Listen as we talk about specific reasons why someone might be inspired to hand over their hard-earned money for your art.

In addition, learn why trying to paint something that will sell is not the best approach to creating art.

As usual, we include bits of our personal lives into the discussion. Think of it as sitting with your two artist friends chatting about art, the art biz and life.
