Welcome to Art Opening(s), the podcast where there are no gatekeepers, no stupid questions, and art for all. Hosted by Courtney Jordan and Samantha Sanders and sponsored by Artists Network.

Who Is Really Making Money in the Art World?

Money makes the world go round … or at least, money doesn’t hurt — especially if you’re an artist. In this edition of Art Opening(s) we are talking money all month, releasing an episode every week for four weeks covering who is making money in the art world, how to price your art, art for rent and answering your burning questions as well as some of our own about the almighty dollar.

In this episode we sleuth out the answer of who is really making money in the art world. If you are a working artist, you’ll learn what matters and what doesn’t … or who to curse or totally rip off or mimic depending on your artistic preference.

This episode of Art Opening(s) is sponsored by the first ever unconventional convention devoted to drawing: SketchKon.

In this episode, I mostly blab about:

+Understanding the art market as a whole…

+If attending art school matters for selling and making money…

+The top artists making the dollars…

+What the death effect (ew) is and why artists care…

+Why fractional equity could be your next payday…

Listen in as we count out all the artists who are making it, if gender matters, if being alive matters and what to learn from some of the most successful (at least in terms of profits) artists on the market.

Listen now!

Meet Courtney Jordan

Courtney is an arts writer, curator and the Director of Online Content for Artists Network. She has organized exhibitions throughout New York City and written for Drawing, Artists Magazine, Mental Floss, Smithsonian magazine and ARTnews. Art history, dishing on the latest art world scoops, and dropping everything to visit artists in the studio are what she loves best.

Meet Samantha Sanders

A writer and Artists Magazine contributor, Samantha’s work has appeared online at Catapult and The Awl. She’s a voracious reader about art, a reasonably committed museum-goer and a sporadic painter. She also finds the New York art world generally a lot nicer than she expected from the trashy tell-alls about the downtown art scene she read in high school.
