Keynote 1
50 Ways F$cked Ways To Try Sell Your Fine Art and The One Way Works
Most professional fine artists sell their art using one or more of 50 common time-consuming, soul-sucking, confidence-crushing, and expensive methods.
However, one free luxury marketing strategy stands the test of time and it allows you to authentically connect with collectors who are 82% more likely to buy your art, spend more money, and happily introduce you to other qualified collectors.
No more paying 50% or more in sales commissions to representatives.
You'll never have to try to sell yourself or feel pushy.
Some key take-aways include:
- why following the common four-part formula most fine artists are using to succeed is crushing their confidence, costing them a tremendous amount of time, money, and energy while robbing them of their dignity
- how most fine artists are playing a game that is designed for them to loose
- why fine artists should focus on one proven marketing and sales strategy that is the foundation of luxury marketing and sales
Hint: People who care about art care about the artist, they don't care about the middleman.

How Successful Fine Artists, Living & Dead, Determined Their Niche
Ann delivers a revised art history lesson that explains how successful fine artists find their niche in four steps: The 4-Part Code.
Fine artists can make a living when they know their niche when they know:
- who wants to buy their art
- why they want to buy it
- where to fine more collectors
- how to find more collectors
Fine artists who don't know their niche have an expensive hobby.
Some key take-aways include:
- learn what fine artists who are selling are really selling
- why artist's statements are killing conversations with collectors and what to do about it
- learn how successful fine artists are providing clear value above and beyond their art in service to a greater mission instead of trying to sell themselves
Hint: Your niche is not about your subject, genre, or creative medium medium.

Finally!
Someone has articulated the frustration and fears I’ve been carrying around for decades as a fine artist.
Ann Elizabeth Rea’s no-B.S. approach is such a breath of fresh air.
What she is saying stands in stark contrast to all the stuffy, self-involved, snobby conversations that are so common in the art world.
As a bonus, her book is gorgeous so I purchased a journal and all three framed posters.
If you’re ready to flip the script on how to succeed as a professional artist, I highly recommend this book.

Ann Elizabeth changed my life as my coach, and she has generously put the principles she taught me into a beautiful book.
I was scraping pennies and scrounging gigs, and now I have a thriving six-figure musical career and a Grammy nomination.
Do not pass go.
Do not listen to the prevailing bitching about art and money.
Run and get this book, and DO what she says.
She is a rare beacon of common sense in a landscape fraught with limiting beliefs.
"Yes, You Can Make a Better Living as a Fine Artist." will be a book that changes many artists' lives.
I'm living and loving proof that Ann Elizabeth is the truth, Ruth.

Ann Rea's book is a real revelation!
This beautifully designed book provides a vital pathway to becoming sovereign for the serious artist whose life is about making art.
Finally, the harsh and truthful insights are unmasked that accurately detail what is currently wrong with "The Art World."
Practical steps on how to overcome the tyranny of the gallery systems have been carefully thought out & presented.
These are real remedies, which lamentably are not taught in art schools.
I myself am a professional artist who has experienced firsthand all the complex dynamics of how the art world really works.
For most artists, this is causing detriment and lasting harm.
The 'manifesto' in this book can ignite one onto a liberating path of self-empowerment.
My hope is that all serious Artists will be inspired and motivated by this message and thus take the reins of their own power.
Artists and collectors worldwide would profoundly benefit from such a global revolution!
Coming soon!
