What's the best way to sell art locally when I have limited resources?

Use free platforms like Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist. Take photos of 5-7 pieces with your cell phone and post them saying you’re a local artist deaccessing part of your collection. List your phone number and advertise a specific sale day and time window, like Saturday from 9 AM to 2 PM or 9 AM to 5 PM. This costs nothing and can generate immediate local interest. You could post it tonight and see results tomorrow.
