Building a successful art business is challenging. There’s a lot of competition online, in galleries, at events, and in the media. In the highly-competitive fine art and photography market, artists need to be much smarter about finding pockets of interest and profit for their work. They need to recognize and act upon opportunities whenever they find them. 

To become successful, artists have to not only master their craft, but also be active in the art community, attend gallery shows, art events, and build relationships in the business. However, there are even more practical steps that artists and photographers can take, and investments they can make to grow their business. After speaking with Roland Imaginarium Artcademy instructor and phenomenally successful artist, Bonny Lhotka, we can share some specific things fine artists can do to achieve greater success.
