    The Business Side

    In our previous episode we learned that it is not realistic to solely rely on grants and subsidies. What other steps can you take? In this episode Nienke van der Wal talks about how you can reach an audience that is interested in buying your art, and how you can implement marketing in your daily practice without affecting the autonomy of your work. Nienke van der Wal (NL) describes herself as “an experienced strategist with over 18 years of experience in the cultural sector and full of entrepreneurial spirit”. She offers her clients consultancy, coaching and training in the field of cultural entrepreneurship. She is also the founder of the Young Collectors Circle. Thanks for Galerie Bart for making this podcast possible and Tolhuistuin for hosting the interview.  This is the website of Nienke van der Wal https://nienke-vanderwal.squarespace.com/
