In this episode of the Artist Business Plan we sit down with self-taught Nigerian painter, Abi Salami to discuss breaking through perfectionism and learning to play and experiment while finding your style as an artist. She reminds us that you NEED to write your personalized artist business plan to achieve next level sales. Abi gives the insider scoop on art fairs, join 'em or ditch 'em, and how to best utilize your booth at an art fair to make those relationships and build your clientele. Abi also shares her secrets of how to personalize her relationships with her buyers and give them more insight into her amazing personality, which YOU can do too!
Guest: Abi Salami is a Nigerian painter based in Dallas. She has exhibited in museums across the U.S. including the Women’s Museum of Art in Dallas and the African American Museum of Art in Dallas, as well as with us at our own Superfine Art Fair. She is currently featured in Saatchi Art’s 2020 Rising Stars Under 35. Abi allows her subconscious to inform her paintings while using symbols to explore memory, mental health, race, specifically with the aim of destigmatizing mental health in African communities.
