How to Find a Corporate Art Buyer and Secure Commissions


Hi Reader,

Greetings and hello again:

This week’s post tackles a topic that can quietly change the trajectory of an art business—working with corporate art buyers.

Most artists overlook this path. Not because it’s out of reach, but because it’s unfamiliar. It doesn’t look like galleries. It doesn’t behave like direct-to-collector sales. But it’s very real, and it’s active.

Corporate buyers—whether companies, consultants, or designers—are constantly sourcing artwork. Offices, hotels, healthcare spaces, and commercial environments all need art. The opportunity is there if you know how to approach it.

In this post, I walk you through how it works and how to position yourself for it without forcing anything that doesn’t fit you..

Enjoy the read.

Older Artists: About aging creatively with grace and gratitude

Hi Reader, Greetings and hello again: I’m excited to share something I’ve been working toward for a long time. It’s called Older Artists. For the past two decades, I’ve written to help artists navigate the business side of things—how to market, how to sell, how to find your way. This work has always been more than a business, much the same as making fine art is for you. It brings me joy and satisfaction in ways that purely making money can’t. I am an artist. Words are my medium. Artists are...

A Practical Way to Simplify Life and Business

Hi Reader, Greetings and hello again: Over the years, I’ve noticed something about artists—and creative people in general. We tend to collect tools, ideas, systems, and opportunities faster than we can realistically put them to use. At first, it feels productive. More options, more possibilities, more things to try. But eventually it can start to feel heavy. Too many choices. Too many moving parts. Too many things are competing for your attention. That’s what led me to write this week’s post:...

what others think

Hi Reader, Greetings and hello again: Sometimes we make a clear decision — and then an objection appears. Maybe someone voices it. Maybe we imagine they will. Either way, it can quietly override what we already knew was right. This week’s post looks at that pattern — and how awareness keeps it from steering you toward choices you wish you could take back later. 👉Click the red button below to read the post.
