Artists! This one is for you!

It has finally arrived! It was an exciting moment for us to flick through the pages of our paperback edition of ‘Smashing it in the Art Industry’, when the first copies landed in the gallery last week.

This is a book that we had carefully put together to reach out to artists who may need answers to some of the more ‘industry specific’ questions that they may have.
(Not the creative ones, that is your department lol)

“We come from a family of artists, over two generations; we can see both sides of the coin” – So basically, as curators of Kilbaha Gallery for over the past decade now, and indeed coming from a family of artists ourselves, we could see both sides of this ‘industry’ coin – both from the artists perspective and that of the industry.

No one had done this before – no one had taken the business side of selling art, the commercial end or the gallery side and put that information out there for artists!

So – Are you an artist?
You might be considering a full time career in art?  Or perhaps you are already established in the industry?
Either way, you may find yourself with some burning questions?

From taking this on as a career, to making your own sales; from selling directly, to maybe approaching galleries; from pricing your work to just getting your foot on that first rung of the ladder in your career, there’s a lot to juggle.  And the information is not always easy to find!

Well, now it is.

We’ve answered many of your ‘most asked questions’ in this industry Book.

This Book ‘Smashing it in the Art Industry’ is packed with insider tips and comprehensive guides tailored to those on the Irish art scene.
From practical advice on how to showcase your art, make sales and even market effectively, to also considering the business side of things.

As long-time curators of our private, contemporary art gallery in the West of Ireland, and with a family background steeped within the industry, we have a unique understanding of what it’s like for artists.  And we know it can be a minefield of directions and choices.

We have put together this Book, ‘Smashing it in the Art Industry’ – to help you navigate the industry, to bring clarity to the many varying directions one can take and to help artists gain more autonomy over their career paths.

So, whether you enjoy art as a hobby; or are emerging onto the scene and want some clarity around it all; maybe you are in art college and are wondering what your next steps might be, or indeed, are already an established artist who is just interested to read our observations – then get your hands on our book today. It has everything you need to succeed.
