93. Managing Downturns in Sales
Have you been experiencing a downturn in art sales over the past few months? It’s something that Steph and I have both been experiencing, so we’re wondering if other artists out there, particularly in Australia, are experiencing this too?
In many ways, this is not surprising to us, given that we have only just come out of two years of lockdown where we live. Our capital Melbourne has been the most locked-down city in the world, and we can see how this has really affected mental health on a mass level in our state and consequently people’s desire and financial ability to buy art.
As often happens to creatives, when our work stops selling, we can tend to take this a bit personally and start telling ourselves all kinds of stories, true and imagined, about why this may be the case. And for each of us, that has been a bit of a journey over the past few months. Join us as we dive deep into how we are managing these times when we find ourselves valuing our worth by how much we are, or are not, selling.
In this episode, we talked about:
How the pandemic has brought down sales to a halt for art business and artists
Effects of the pandemic on my art business
How we should pause and acknowledge that we are lucky to be alive and enjoy the small things - just be happy and not hustling all the time
Lessons pandemic has given us
How Steph and I cope up with the pandemic
And MUCH MORE!
