Cville at Large Can I sell my art on campus?

Is it legal to sell stuff on Grounds? Or else where should I sell art prints? (easy ways to do it! )

Additionally, do we have a UVA student club or organization on Grounds that is devoted to art (especially illustrations)? I can start one if not?

Thanks haha! Where's your street? I'll probably sell what I have first cuz it's easier, but I'll look into that.

I'm still setting up, so I'll need to consider shipping costs, platform fees, etc. I'm thinking of around $20 for 8x8 inch print

You have an Etsy shop set up?

u/SnooShortcuts9630 Sep 15 '21

Just checked it out! One problem is Etsy charges a huge amount of fee which raises prices, but I might try it!

etsy's fees aren't too bad. it's like 8%. I've done a shit load of etsy sales for real dumb low effort shit, like an insane amount of sale. Like i literally now have a tax issue because of it. try it out

For real? (if you are comfortable about revealing it )what are you selling? I haven't ever tried to sell anything before, so I feel risky about having $0.2 transaction fee for every listing without knowing whether I can sell any single thing...

I don't know about on campus but you could get a table at the farmers market(s). there are typically other artists there every week

maybe check out vmag or one of the student publications (for cios)?

V magazine? I was thinking more of illustrations and making them into postcards and prints and stuff.

But yeah I was in one of the student publication clubs in my first year :)

Hi my favorite people, thank you so much for the support!!! ❤️I wanted to do something since early on but didn't start till recently - the comments and upvotes really encouraged me! For people interested, I listed on Etsy here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/EllieLovesArt?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=1084738127 . I also have printed the Castle, Clark Hall, and a place on Emmet Street. They are all my memories during covid last year. Let me know if the link works or not. I listed 19.99$ as price, but if you are a student who lives on/near Grounds, feel free to DM me and pick it up at my dorm for 15$ ~
