🎨 Emotion Sells Art and Connections Are Currency ✨


Hello Reader,

Greetings and hello again:

The art market feels brutal at the moment. Galleries are closing, sales are down, and buyers are hesitant.

But some artists are still connecting with collectors and making sales. What's their secret?

It's not better marketing or flashier promotion. It involves understanding a deeper aspect of how people make decisions to purchase art.

In this week's post, I explore the neuroscience behind why emotions drive art sales—and provide you with four practical ways to foster the kind of authentic connections that lead to lasting collector relationships.

Be well and take care. Peace out!

Barney Davey

PS: Remember: You can't manufacture trust, but you can earn it by honoring what's already authentic in your work. The collectors who are ready to feel something real will find you.
