What is Art
Entrepreneurship? |
Art entrepreneurship means
turning creativity into a small business. For kids, it’s a chance to:
·
Share their talent
·
Build confidence
·
Learn business basics
·
Understand the value of time and
effort
It’s not about becoming rich
overnight—it’s about slow, steady progress, and enjoying the process.

First,
you need some amazing artwork to sell. This could be anything from paintings and
drawings to sculptures and digital art. The most important thing is to create something you love and are proud of. Next,
take your best pieces and think about pricing.
Consider the cost of your materials and the time you spent creating it. Ask
your parents to help you figure out a fair price. There
are many places online to sell your art. Etsy and Redbubble are popular platforms where you can create your own shop
and showcase your work. Alternatively, you can create your own simple website
with parent's help. Once
your shop is up, spread the word by sharing your work on social media. Remember to get your parent's permission first. Finally,
selling art takes time and effort. Don't be discouraged if you
don't make sales right away. Keep creating and promoting your work, and
you'll eventually find your audience! |

Tell the Story Behind the
Art |
|
Buyers love knowing who made the
art and why. Add a short story with each piece:
·
What inspired the drawing?
·
Why do they love to create?
·
Will the money help them save for
something special?
This makes each sale feel
personal—and more meaningful.
