A guide to making a living as a fine arts professional.
This course is designed to help those interested in the business and economic activities associated with fine artists, art agents, and gallerists.
A practical and collaborative seminar for people who make art, work in galleries,and individuals who are interested in helping or becoming a fine art professional.
Subjects and follow up projects will include, identifying and applying to exhibitions spaces, best practices for working with galleries and museums, marketing strategies (marketing on the internet using social media platforms.)
Aspects of the "business" end of being working in fine art, (record keeping, money management, and the mechanics of shipping fine art and setting up a shop on the internet.)
Market, sell, and ship your art.
I designed this course for my students when I was teaching at a community college in Fremont. It's really for art but I think the main concepts are transferable to any other field. About me. I'm 53 and a realist painter who is making a reasonable living representing myself on line and not working with galleries any more. I have been making around 30 to 40 k a year.

Hi! I'm Kenney Mencher. I am a semi retired professor of Art and Art History from Ohlone College in Fremont. (Now I'm a full time artist and I occasionally teach part time.) My lecture style is casual and clear. I don't believe in using a lot of jargon or overly complicated language. Here's the rest of the stuff you might...
Interesting and informative. Some very helpful information.
I enrolled your art history course before, and I suddenly discover you have this course for art selling! Really thank you for your sharing. (I am too outdated and didn't think of selling online like this) You give me directions of develop my own bushiness.
Great for beginners
This is so encouraging - its like finding the map (with a shortcut) to help me create a successful future promoting artwork.
Captivating and easily holds attention.
Really helpful content.
Outdated and I think I should have opted for another artist with similar price points and mediums/works' sizes
I'm excited about what I'm going to learn in this class! Kenney is literally telling us what has been working for him, so it's not theoretical. It's practical. I'm only through the intro right now, but I am looking forward to the rest of the course!

Right from the very beginning the material has been immediately applicable and valuable. I’m looking forward to the remainder of this class. Mr. Mencher knows his stuff and generously shares it.
