Making Art, Selling Art… Making Money

You make art. Maybe it's your passion, maybe it's your side hustle, or maybe it's just what you're good at and want to get paid for. But turning creative work into actual income on Cape? That's a whole different challenge. This session is the real talk about making money from your art, where the tourist economy creates opportunities but also complications. Panelists who are actually doing it (whether through teaching, online sales, galleries, commissions, or some combination of hustle) will share how they turned their creative work into income. We'll talk about pricing your work, finding buyers and clients, navigating the seasonal economy, and figuring out which opportunities are worth your time and which are just “exposure.”
