Would you love to walk into a store and see your art on products?

Then art licensing might be for you...

Instead of selling originals or selling designs outright, many artists will grant the right (license) to use their art on a specific product, for a set time period in exchange for a percentage of sales. By licensing instead of selling art, there is the potential to earn income on the same piece of art or collection of art multiple times.

The shows are coming...

Tara Reed has just completely re-vamped her eBook for artists exhibiting at an art licensing trade show or for those planning to in the next year or so.

Without promotion something terrible happens – nothing.

– P.T. Barnum

Succeeding in art licensing - or any business for that matter - requires more than just the core skills or talent. In art licensing, the "core skills" would obviously be artistic talent. If you have the talent, you then need to learn how to apply it in a way that works for products. You need to learn to see trends and decide if they make sense for your style and focus. I consider the core skills the art related skills.

Beyond the core skills, you need business skills - sales & marketing, building and nurturing relationships, understanding and negotiating contracts, etc.

But don't forget about your "personal" core. Without understanding yourself and what motivates you and what might make you sabotage yourself, you won't have everything you need to maximize your success.

Art Licensing Academy

The Art Licensing Academy is a group coaching program, held by phone, for artists wanting an in-depth education about how art licensing works.

A four week, 8 session program includes a private Facebook group. Artists will learn solid business skills to move them forward by leaps and bounds towards their goal of building an art licensing business and be supported along the way.

It is Tara's belief that the more professional artists become in the industry, the better it will be for everyone. Understanding both what manufacturers need and what artists bring to the table in terms of skills, knowledge and know-how is vital for individual success and the success of the industry.
