How To: Understand The Online Art Market

In How To Understand the Online Art Market, Chris Grant Peterkin, founder of art directory website 'Visual Art Trader,' will help make sense of online galleries, sales platforms and artist websites.

The internet has revolutionised the market for artists themselves and the buyers of paintings, drawings, sculpture, and photography. In How To Understand the Online Art Market, Chris Grant Peterkin will help make sense of the online galleries, gallery listing sites, sales platforms and artist websites. Following a one hour lecture the audience will divide into three groups, each of whom will receive a fifteen minute individual session in which Chris will give detailed advice and share the latest industry knowledge with those wanting to buy and those wanting to sell. Those waiting their turn will be replenished with wine.
