Hi Barbara:
Thought-provoking topic. Traditional methods of audience development i.e. private and public exhibitions locally and distant do yield results. However not as much as one desires. Something that does work well is serving on boards, committees, etc that are not necessarily art related. Once members discover your are an artist they often are anxious to see your work, ask to attend your studio and shows, tell others even though they may not have been interested in art. The other approach is not to work too hard at building but more so servicing well the audience before you. Repetitive sales can add up!
Best regards,
Bruce
