shops and galleries to sell through. They will put it on consignment
or buy them outright if they really like it.

gift shop or gallery. You could also sell other artists artwork

coops where you rent a space in the store and make your own display.

or both.

companies mail order catalog. Those catalogs you get in the mail
selling gift items are always looking for new products. Be prepared
to do volume at low prices.
