I’ve spent more than twenty years writing weekly about the business side of art—what helps, what holds up, and what quietly wastes time. Along the way, I’ve published books, built tools, and created practical guides for artists at different stages of their careers.
Some of what you’ll find here is free. Some is modestly priced. All of it is meant to be useful, approachable, and grounded in real experience—not hype or hustle.

About the Publisher
Barney with everybody's best friend, Petey.
Barney Davey is an art marketing expert with decades of experience as an executive at Decor magazine, the leading publication for art galleries and picture framers. He draws on lessons from his years inside the art poster and limited‑edition boom to help artists build sustainable careers.
In 2005, he launched Art Marketing News to give artists practical strategies they can use right away. Since then, he has written nine influential art‑marketing books and taught the business and interpersonal skills artists need for long‑term success. His guidance helps artists shape their legacies, build meaningful connections, and navigate the art world with confidence.
Today, his focus is on helping artists make sense of a changing creative landscape — without losing themselves in the process.

Testimonials
“Thank you for the excellent instruction you provided for us sculptors at the Loveland, Colorado Sculpture in the Park artist's seminar. Because of your presentation, I was able to sell 60% of the sculpture that I brought to sell at the show.”

“I've been an artist in two different mediums for over 25 years. I had some modicum of success. However, since I've been reading Barney Davey’s books and joined the Art Marketing Mastery Workshop Facebook group I've learned more about art marketing and found tools that consistently work…Each time I utilize your training, I learn something, and go on to make art sales. I'm very grateful.”
