Hi, everyone!
I want to start selling stationary, prints, etc. of my art. I’m curious what you think of different Print on Demand sites.

Please, tell me:
~Do you use a POD to sell art?
~Do you use a POD to buy art?
~Which one(s)?
~What do you like about it/them?
~What do you dislike?

Thank you!
Have a picture of pretty flowers. Does anyone know what they are called?

How come corporation can dictate to freelancers their fees and contracts with no legal recourse, yet freelancers can't have a union to fight back? #ArtistLife #ArtEconomy #ArtBusiness #Freelancer #Art #Artist #MastoArt #RedBubble #society6 #PointOfPurchase

Friends, I need some #artist advice.

Is there a POD that *isn't* a POS?

I was planning on opening my Redbubble shop next month, but now that they've decided to go the way of society6 & add a bunch of BS tiers & fees I'm not interested in working with them! Please help

Hug an artist today.. There are POD sites ( companies artist use to get their artwork on print and home goods) who are now raising prices and charge artist to be on their platform. Our art is what makes it possible for them to be in business. It has been a dark month for artists. #BuyIntoArt #ArtistLife #ArtEconomy #artist

A universal basic income for artists? US cities are trying it.

"Guaranteed income programs for artists are far less common, but they have gained traction in the past two years."

@janettespeyer Have you been following my #arteconomy posts? I started posting articles about the economy of art. I told an art appreciation course for non-art majors and decided part of the lectures will be on educating them on the Economy of arts. Their eyes opened wide when they began to understand just how much money the arts and artists bring to the table. Yet they don't get much appreciation for it. Cuts in funding to the arts have been constant. we need universal income.

"3. Become friends with artists and gallery owners
You’ll learn about smaller shows, where many times you can score great deals. Show up early and often, and you’ll find someone who’s willing to broker a deal with you.

The Economy of Arts - Should you invest in art in 2023?

To the young collectors, my advice is, to find a local artist whose work you enjoy. Get to know the art and artists. Create a budget for your art collection. Buy art because you love it and you would love it even if the art never gained value.

Do you ever think about the economy of the arts? If you do you know lots of money is made on the backs of artists. Yet artists are often still struggling to make a living. Just like folks working in other occupations, they need food, clothing, shoes, and housing to live. Thank you for appreciating and supporting the arts. #Arts #ArtBusiness #Artist #ArtEconomy #ArtistLife #ArtMatters #IrisRichardsonArtist #ArtEducation #EconomyofArts
