How do I get my art into hotels?

There are two ways: you can hunt them down (find the buyer, show up, bring coffee, be persistent) or they find you. Ninety-nine percent of the time, they find the artist. One artist got a $70,000 sale from an interior designer whose daughter had been following her on Instagram for 9 months and told her mom. Another artist in a tiny town had a hotel buyer stop by his gallery on a road trip and call two weeks later. The key is having a strong online presence—a robust website, social media following, and email list—so when these buyers look you up, they see you’re legitimate and on the rise. That makes their job easier, and they’re more likely to work with you.
