There’s a version of selling your art where a single conversation leads to a buyer purchasing your work hundreds of times over, for a hotel full of rooms, a corporate campus, or a hospital wing that needs art on every floor.
Allan, an 85-year old artist, had that conversation. He had one image. The consultant had a hotel client. That hotel bought his image 4,000 times.
Most artists have never heard of the people who make deals like that happen. They’re not gallery owners. They’re not collectors scrolling Instagram. They’re art consultants, and they move millions of dollars of artwork every year into commercial spaces. They’re looking for artists right now. They just can’t find most of them.
This kit gives you everything you need to reach them.
This is not a marketing problem. It’s a market problem.
You’re selling into a channel that moves art slowly and one piece at a time, when there’s an entire parallel market buying art with money to spend in the hundreds for commercial spaces: hotels, hospitals, office buildings, real estate developments, healthcare clinics, municipalities.
That market has a different set of buyers. Buyers with real project budgets. Buyers who are professional purchasers, not emotional collectors. Buyers who need a constant supply of work and have no reliable way to find it.
You just don’t have their names.
Cold emails to hotel interior design departments that never write back. LinkedIn requests to facilities managers who have no idea what you’re talking about. A “commissions available” note on your website that sits there untouched.
These don’t work because you’re trying to reach the end buyer without going through the person whose job is to connect buyers to artists. That person is the art consultant. And the consultant is not easy to find unless you already know who they are.
Path 1
One collector, one commission, one sale. You pour hours into each transaction, then start over at zero the next morning.
Path 2
Juried exhibitions, gallery submissions, art fairs. Months of effort and rejection for a slice of a single room’s worth of buyers.
Both paths work. But both are slower. There is a third, faster path.
Path 3
Get your work into the databases art consultants use to fill hotels, hospitals, and corporate buildings, where a single yes can mean hundreds or thousands of pieces. That is what this kit is for.
Art consultants sit between commercial clients and artists. The client (a hotel chain, a hospital network, a real estate developer) hires the consultant to source, curate, and install artwork for their properties. The consultant handles the client relationship, framing, shipping, and installation. The artist gets paid over and over for the work.
Your only job is to make art, and license it with one simple agreement.
The consultant comes to you when they have a project that fits your work. If the client buys 4,000 prints of your image for their hotel rooms, you see that money. No cold outreach. No pitch deck. No gallery relationship required.
Allan had the exact consultant contact list you're getting here. He reached out to a few by email. One of those turned into a 4,000 sale deal.
This kit is that list, plus Allan walking you through exactly how the conversation went.
A complete kit for selling your art to hotels, hospitals, businesses, and commercial developments. At the center is a curated contact list of working art consultants, the people whose job is to source artwork for those spaces.
Allan also used this to place 36 photos in a residential building in Atlanta, and a single image of his sold to a hotel 4,000 times over. The list is what made both possible. Allan is 85 years old. He is not a marketer and he is not a tech person. If he can do this, anyone can.
Everything else in the kit is built around that list: a playbook, a licensing contract template, and interviews with real buyers. Each piece answers a specific question you will have once you are holding the list.
Everything you need to start licensing your art today.
The curated list Allan used when he landed his hotel deal. Working consultants who source art for hotels, corporations, healthcare facilities, real estate developers, and municipalities. Not a scraped directory. Not gallery contacts. The people whose job is to find artists for commercial projects at volume.
You get this the moment you pay. This is what the $17 buys.
Five bonuses that answer every question you’ll have once you’re holding the list:
Bonus 1
How the commercial art market works, what consultants look for, how licensing deals get structured, and what to do first. Read this before you open the list. It’s the map.
Bonus 2
For when you’re looking at the list and wondering what to actually say. This is Allan walking through the conversation that turned one photograph into 4,000 hotel purchases: what he said, how the consultant responded, what they needed from him. Never released anywhere else.
Bonus 3
For when you’re wondering if your work is the right kind. Molly co-founded Nine Dot Arts in 2009. 14-person firm, 34 states, 3 countries. She has bought work priced at $3 and commissions at $600,000: photography, painting, sculpture, printmaking, fiber arts, all of it. In this interview she explains exactly what gets an artist into their database and what gets them ignored.
Bonus 4
For when you need to know what to send. Wendy has 30 years in the business. Active hotel projects overseas and domestic right now. In this interview she covers what she is sourcing, in what formats, and exactly how she prefers to receive artist submissions.
Bonus 5
For when a consultant or buyer says yes. The done-for-you agreement you send to close the deal. It covers usage rights, print runs, fees, and terms, so you look professional and get paid correctly. No lawyer required to get started.
“Licensing is really easy. Today I sold 2 cropped sections of my oil and metallic original, 36 x 32 inches, to a hotel. These projects can take a year to materialize, but they are a windfall when they do.”
Lynda, Praxis Center member
“Just wanted to give a huge thanks to Praxis. I used the art consultants list and sold 36 photos to be used in a residential building in Atlanta, Georgia. So thanks, Brainard!”
Allan, Praxis Center member
“My intaglio print was selected for a juried international exhibition, and it sold for $1,200, the most I have ever sold a print for.”
Lynnette Black, Praxis Center member

Will this get you 4,000 sales?
Maybe.
Probably not your first month, and maybe never at that exact scale. The 4,000-unit deal was a standout, not the average, and anyone who promises you that number is selling you a fantasy.
Here is what it does do. It hands you the same kind of contact list that put an artist in front of a buyer who needed work at volume, and it shows you how that conversation actually went. The list opens the door. Your work and your follow-up decide what walks through it.
Some members place a handful of pieces in a single building, like Allan’s 36 photos in Atlanta. Some land one commission that pays for their year. Some open it, do nothing, and get nothing back. The difference is not the list. It is whether you make the call.
For $17 you are not buying a promise. You are buying the names, the map, and proof that this market is real and reachable. The rest is the part only you control.

When do I get access after I buy?
Immediately. You’ll get a confirmation with login details right after checkout. No waiting.
Do I need to be a full-time artist or have a certain level of experience?
No. The commercial art market cares about the work, not your resume. Molly Casey said it directly in her interview: her firm works with self-taught artists who have no exhibition history. What matters is whether your work fits a space a buyer needs to fill.
Is this for beginners or do I need experience selling my work first?
It’s for beginners. You don’t need gallery representation, a sales history, or an existing relationship with any commercial buyer. Molly Casey said it directly in her interview: her firm actively works with self-taught artists who have never shown in a gallery. What you need is work that fits a space. The contact list gets you in front of the people who decide that. The bonuses show you how to approach them. You don’t need credentials to start.
Will this work for my type of art?
The buyers in this kit have sourced photography, painting, sculpture, mixed media, printmaking, fiber arts, wall sculpture, and commissioned murals. The least expensive piece Molly ever purchased for a project was $3. The most expensive was $600,000. There is no single medium or style that wins or loses in this market.
Hotels are renovating. Developers are building. Healthcare companies are buying original work for their facilities. The firms profiled in this kit work on projects with $50,000+ budgets. Real money, real buyers, real purchasing commitments.
The artists who get into these databases first get the calls. The ones who wait keep doing art fairs.
