Self Sales, Open Studios, and Relationships with Interior Designers with Carol MacConnell (#171)

Carol MacConnell has built a strong business foundation over her long art career. I was particularly interested in talking with her about how she works with interior designers.

You'll hear us discuss:

  • Carol's income streams, 30% of which comes from working with interior designers and the vast majority through open studio events.
  • How she, as an artist who is legally deaf, navigates conversations.
  • How she segments and uses her list of 2,000 interior designers and 2,000 other subscribers.
  • What the working relationship with interior designers is like.

You'll also hear me plead my case for contracts that spell out the details of a relationship with anyone who sells your art.

My favorite thing about this conversation is that Carol doesn't get anxious about missing out on [whatever]. She is focused on getting the work done and being authentic about what is going on rather than fussing over the algorithms and other mind traps.
