I think you're on to something with the doctor's office idea. Artist would probably be better off targeting doctor's offices in more affluent neighborhoods where the patients might have more disposable income. Why limit yourself to doctor's offices? Any office that has a waiting room and good traffic flow would be good and who knows what these relationships could lead to? Look at David Choe who as a struggling graffiti artist was asked to decorate the walls of the first Facebook office and decided to be paid with stock instead of cash.
Smart remark. I thought about that Facebook guy when making this video actually. Massive story, I've covered it in another video on the channel. And yeah your comment makes the video better for sure. I should've point that out to put it in high net worth neighborhoods!
@@jdos5643 You simply approach the doctor or the office manager and ask them if they would be interested in replacing their tacky generic hotel art prints with your vibrant creative original works of art. If permitted to do so, inform the staff that once the doctor's patients begin inquiring about the beautiful art work, they should mention that the work is for sale. You should consider giving the office a cut of the sale (just like a gallery would do). The doctor might tell all of his doctor buddies about your arrangement and they may begin to want to work with you as well. I would think a dentist's office might be just as good.
@driesketels, what about medical testing centres? Many People do definitely spend time there. The only drawback that I can see is that they are staffed by medical technicians and nurses, not doctors. I know a lawyer. Should I talk to him about such a thing? He is in a larger "cabinet d'avocats" so I expect that someone else would have the decision power. But that would require an introduction and a portfolio.
❤ I have sold art works to the Bank of Scotland in London , Doctors Surgeries , Psychiatrist office, two Major wineries , a supreme court which ( to my knowledge) have never led to further sales.
This. I have read NOT to do do this, that it rarely leads to sales, and that instead of sales to doctors, attorneys, etc., they come to expect to have have artwork on their walls for free, so when you remove yours, they just move on to have the next artist waiting in the wings come in and hang up their work.
Seriously? I thought the long hair was a bit too much like a homeless person or something? It never felt good. P.S. it's been 4 years since we met in the comment section Berynnice... it feels like eternity. Time is going too fast
I have already 3 doctors who saw my paintings and ask me to put some artworks in their office. 😊 I mean it. It s not a joke! I gavve two acrylic cardboards to my psych. doc. and he like them. I ve showed some photos from my phone with my paintings to another two doctors and they wish to have some of them on their walls in their office. It s a good idea for marketing the artworks. At least we can be known in local area. Who knows when and where the luck will hit us? Bless you!
@@driesketels thanks but I don t feel the need to conquer anymore any else. I decided to paint for myself. To conquer myself. 🖌️😊 💞 I ve find my way when a 17 kilos egg shape rock found me. Rocks are better then canvases.
1:00 thousands of views to thousands of poor working people and students rushing to their jobs and their schools who spend almost all their money for rent, bills and food with no disposable income left for anything except maybe for a TV and internet subscription. The second group would be high school and college students who have no disposable income except to buy corn chips at the subway station and to pay room and board at their University and to ride that subway. So those thousands of views would be all quantity with close to zero quality. 😂😅😅😂😂😂
Here is the real reason you may not consider to sell on those art platforms. Many of them take about 35% from the sale price of your artwork. if the platform brought you customers to see and buy your artwork that may be fine. But that is not the case. You are the one who is expected to bring YOUR customer to the platform and then the platform is charging about 35% after you brought YOUR customer to the platform. Something to consider.
Have you seen a real Keith painting in person like his larger pieces that were on canvas? This cat has made skill his paintings are done with a brush but have no brush lines and the paint looks like it's screen printed in glass. His technique is off the hook
A short contract template that you can customize yourself would help. It helps to spell out in black and white the responsibilities of both parties, especiallyif things do go sideways.
One of the things I love about your videos is that you always look at the numbers:) I'm going to try this asap. I'll let you know how it works out! So far I've only made about $3000 per year, but have only been full time since October 2023. One question I am asking you or anyone else out there - The market maybe saturated but not so much when it comes to very large scale work - anyone else notice that? Thank you for the valuable info!
I really enjoy your videos and am currently trying to figure out what to do how to proceed, big respect to your success. I see the paintings in your videos are more abstract but maybe you could still give your opinion; is it stupid for me to want to keep doing detailed art? I keep hearing that abstracts sell rn, not what Im into (im super extra and into magical stuff)…
I have totally already thought about doing this! I originally got the idea because I have a vision impairment and I would be waiting in the doctors office at the ophthalmologist, and they had these big bold pictures that were made for people with low vision.… I thought about offering to hang my art in there as a reminder to myself and other people with vision loss that I could still do some form of visual art.… And being a patient there, would enhance the Recognition of that particular doctors office.… Also some hospitals in my area have small galleries, and showcase art. This is a very interesting concept to me!
There is a hospital here in the town I live, they have a section with a small gallery in it. I went there to get a radiology procedure and in the lobby they even had a live musician playing piano… One of the volunteers asked me if I would be interested in checking out the exhibition. I guess they feature local artists, not sure what the criteria is, at the time I just saw it as a part of the philanthropy of that hospital. But I want to go see it again and ask about how to get involved!
Mmm, then I would have turned them down. It no longer was a marketing opportunity for your art; instead he rented your art on his walls for free. Edit: it makes me suspicious of his ethics as a financial planner. I bet he was not fiduciary and sold investments that were not necessarily in the best interest of his clients because he was getting commissions.
Interesting concept. This also translates to airports which are used as major gallery points for artists, especially local artists to the destination. I report on this in my published book.
@@driesketelsClassical guerilla marketing. The other venue that I have heard is restaurants. However, those places usually have a lot more distractions than doctors' waiting rooms.
Thank you for these awesome knowledgeable and helpful videos. I have not come across such helpful material and I am on youtube often looking for new ways to put my art out there. thank you for sharing

I’ve been putting my art anywhere my clientele frequent (veterinaries) I haven’t touched galleries for years and I’m doing fine.
Galleries are glorified shop assistants at best. Let's go!

I don't know what is more of a legend... your hair, you or your advice 😉
Most legend would be my micro p*** 😂
That's exactly what I think about every time I come across his videos. But I have to admit it, I miss his long hair 😅.

I think Dries’ hair is an installation on its own 😂 I think it looks like a cartoon drawing of fire, he just needs some orange tips on the ends 😂
Dries, maybe you can become super successful art dealer or art manager? You are very inventive.
thank you

I might've been slightly too harsh on his craftsmanship indeed.
@@driesketels Yeah, if you watch videos of him painting, his line control is superb. He's also working intuitively most of the time.
Love the hair 😀
I would be scared stiff to just place my art in a 'waiting room' somewhere. What if they wouldn't give me the artwork back at the end?!?!?!?

What do you mean with " some doctor offices in my neighbourhood have small galleries"
There is a hospital here in the town I live, they have a section with a small gallery in it. I went there to get a radiology procedure and in the lobby they even had a live musician playing piano… One of the volunteers asked me if I would be interested in checking out the exhibition.

I put my art in a financial planners office. Were it hung for years until he retired. They didn’t want prices on the art so nothing ever sold.
Mmm, then I would have turned them down. It no longer was a marketing opportunity for your art; instead he rented your art on his walls for free.
Edit: it makes me suspicious of his ethics as a financial planner. I bet he was not fiduciary and sold investments that were not necessarily in the best interest of his clients because he was getting commissions.
Hhhh my father is a dentist and i am also follow your this tips from my childhood totaly free 😅
Your father good be a good starting point!
@@driesketels yes
Interesting concept. This also translates to airports which are used as major gallery points for artists, especially local artists to the destination. I report on this in my published book.
Good luck with the book
My dude, this advice and strategies are gold! Thank you so much!
Any time!
Get the hell outta here!😆
Get the hell outta here!
@@driesketels Ok dammit, c u next time
Interesting strategy that I never thought about thanks for sharing. Would you use originals or prints?
This was smy question. I usually see prints in offices, but I don't think they are for sale. I know limited edition prints can go for quite a bit.
Wow dries tips are amezing ❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Thanks a lot 😊
@@driesketels 😉🙃

The other venue that I have heard is restaurants. However, those places usually have a lot more distractions than doctors' waiting rooms.
what a shit is to be an artist in Latin America specially if you do dark surrealism... but damn! I need to try the doctor's one
Thank you for this advice Dries. Very creative and fun also.
You are more then welcome Marianne
Great idea. Additionally draft a contract.
Good call!
The Contract Shop has lots of templates for sale, including for artists.
I have well known old book called ‘Guerrilla Marketing’ by Jay Levinson, still good ideas and plenty things to make you think 🤔
Thank you for these awesome knowledgeable and helpful videos. I have not come across such helpful material and I am on youtube often looking for new ways to put my art out there. thank you for sharing
I love this idea - and it would be great for the province of the art piece too.
dude, you don't even have a working website. whats up with that?
i love this. thanks so much, it's time to go rogueeee (another tip i recently saw was a local artist had their work in the library)
Interesting point of view
Very helpful tips❤❤
Glad it was helpful!
Dries are Art Prize competitions worth entering ?
I have a video or two talking about this. It's going to help you more then any comment ever could.
Well done young man ! I love this information
