At 66 and a professional for 45 years, I doubt I'll change now! 😉

Good art is appreciated by a few and sometimes even purchased!

One way an artist can sell - and has worked for me several times - is to have an art party where the artist shows about 20 of his works on an easel one at a time (under good lighting), relates the story behind each piece, what he was trying to say, or whatever else might be interesting. This is best done in someone's home, preferably one of the artist's collectors who has many contacts who they invited to attend. The conditions have to be right, but it can really be a success.
