How can painting in public help build my art business?

Painting in public spaces like galleries gives you access to people you’d never reach otherwise, including tourists and locals exploring the art scene. Many people will come specifically to see you and meet you once they know your schedule. This in-person visibility complements your online marketing by creating real human connections. You can build your email list through giveaways while you paint, have direct conversations about commissions, and let people watch your process. Being present and painting in public multiple days per week provides consistent exposure in your local market.
