CAREER MANAGEMENT
THE BUSINESS OF ART
Elroy Art Agency is a full-service business management firm specializing in the career development of visual artists. Elroy works for talented and motivated artists who are concerned with taking their career to a higher level of professionalism.
An artist's career involves making strategic decisions about where time is best spent. Most artists devote roughly 50% of their efforts on the business work of simply trying sell their art - an inefficient and burdensome use of time - their most limited resource.
The art sales world is highly competitive and in a constant state of flux. A well-formulated business strategy is imperative for success and requires a balanced approach. Elroy brings that balance into the equation, assuming all business-related activities of an artist’s career, freeing the artist to focus on art.
Elroy Art Agency doesn’t believe in starving artists. Elroy consults with artists to develop strong and dynamic business strategies, which flex with the directions of a growing career. Elroy works on the artist’s behalf to identify and seize opportunities – breaking into new markets through exhibitions, reproductions, licensing, leasing and other creative means.
Elroy understands the unique challenges which artists face and recognizes that needs vary with every situation. Depth of services engaged and appropriate monthly retainer terms are determined on an individual basis. Please see Submission page for more info.
