There are many customs and expectations of artists in the art world. If you are a visual artist and are starting on a path of marketing and selling your work, we recommend a couple of books to get you started (see below.)
These books include information on your professional presentation (artist statement, resume, presenting your work samples, web presence, approaching galleries, selling, public speaking, managing money and more. You can go even farther with an understanding of social media.
"The Artist's Guide", How to Make a Living Doing What you Love", by Jackie Battenfield
"Art/work, Everything You Need to Know (And Do) As Your Pursue Your Art Career" by Heather Darcy Bhandari and Jonathan Melber
