Every gallery is also a commercial enterprise that needs to sell its art and find new collectors. Today, a number of tools and channels exist that allow you to promote your gallery and your artists and to attract potential collectors and art lovers. In our five tips and specific examples, we’ll show you how to bring more visitors to your website, how to raise your artists’ profile, and how to sell more art using simple and inexpensive measures.
How to sell art more easily
There are many ways to sell your art: in galleries, on art fairs, or via the internet. Selling art online offers numerous possibilities. You may use platforms such as Artnet, Artsy or social media platforms like Instagram or Facebook. When communicating directly with collectors, however, these channels also present some shortcomings. They don’t allow you to send exclusive and individual offers or exhibition previews to potential buyers.
Social Media for galleries
Are you still satisfied with the number of people visiting your gallery? Or are your visitors becoming fewer and fewer? In this case, you are not alone. A survey from Hiscox, the online art trade report from 2018, makes it clear: more and more people no longer view art in galleries or museums but on social media channels such as Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter.

What exactly does this mean?
You enable collectors and anyone interested in art to quickly and easily start a dialogue through various tools on your website. This makes it easier for them to contact you.
