I found myself out of work and in a bad state of health. Doctors did not recognize what was wrong and did not put me on disability. My family needed extra money, I wanted to contribute in a way where I could take a day off when I needed to if my health was not good. I had never thought of making art for a living until I was desperately trying to find a way to help my family (my husband does not make much money). We needed money to buy food and pay rent. I thought, what can I do? I know a little about painting and have always wanted to know more. I have a few old paints and brushes. I have some time on my hands. I painted my butt off for a year to up my skills and now I help my family. It is so fulfilling, and not being able to work for others due to my health had a silver lining. You are only selling out if you make art you yourself don't like so you can sell it. Thank goodness for selling art!

art is a form of visual journaling. You will recall the moments/experience, feelings which is priceless

I’m a beginner and discovered painting as a way to express my emotions and creativity. It’s also very healing and I have a deep connection to my paintings. People have been asking me if I would like to sell my paintings but I’m not ready to let go any of my paintings yet. But since I have more than 50 now and running out of space to store them I believe at some point I will start to sell them starting with the oldest ones that I outgrew. Making money out of a hobby that gives me so much joy is a bonus and I wouldn’t mind in the future.

Great podcast. Money, shame, fear, art are so velcroed together with our value systems sometime! Really it’s about getting your value system in line with your art and deeply tapping into that.

This was so helpful. I'm so glad I ran across this. I've been a high school art teacher for too many years, not having time to create my own work. I don't want to teach anymore. Especially with how the education system had deteriorated in our society. I do feel like a sell out in that sense because I'm a part of it. I want to create my art. I'm going to meditate on this podcast and make some life adjustments! Thank you!

Art is a form of appreciation and gratitude. Therefore a necessity.

I'm not convinced and here's why :) I sell my art. And that's my calling. But I'm sure there are people who do art strictly for their own enjoyment and healing, and feel no call whatsoever to sell it. Perhaps, they're already doing something else to make a living that gives them just as much life. Working for a non profit, or Healthcare, or teaching. And they get every drop of enjoyment and fulfillment they need simply by creating without having to monetize it.

I'm so glad all of my art teachers were telling (& other students) to sell their art bc they actually want us to succeed in our crafts.

Why does every art school say this !!!! They make huge complexes in Artists.

True art is not intended or necessary in the eyes of everyone, but it is a necessary sign of luxury for the wealthy and for those who love and can afford it and it is a big business for Art dealers ... For an artist, art begins with passion which evolves through practice then growing up earning money through his passion must be an objective for his own development and his valorization in society or in the whole world as a recognized artist.

I remember one time when I was an art school, someone approached me and some of my other friends in the class and asked us if we wanted to do a paint project after school. I was thrilled! When we all got there, they handed us rollers and we proceeded to paint an entire pathway/sidewalk area of someone’s garden backyard.… Not exactly what I was expecting😝😏

If necessity is the topic, and what is essential for life meaning keeping the body alive, then art is not going to feed you, it’s not going to close you, or give you shelter, but what it will do is feed the soul, and i it can give pleasure and joy, which is necessary to hey fulfilling life

@myrnarichards5834

Dimitra echoed my vision for myself. I want to love what I do for my work. I love to paint, there we go!

someone buying your art is a celebration and acknowledge of you as an artist

Well I watched till the end and saying selling art is being a sellout is a dumb statement because everything we own is art that someone sold. Clothes are art, the plates we eat from is art, cars we drive is art. Creation is art and we sell it to share it with others so that everyone has the benefit of what we’ve created. That’s the point of creation. Sharing it with others. And since we leave in a world of monetary exchange there is no way around selling whatever you create if it’s your gift that will help you live the life you want to live in this world.
