Is it possible for artists to still get private patronage nowadays?
How?
How?
By convincing a private individual to become their patron, I would guess. 
I guess I want to know how to find such individuals nowadays.

You’re lucky she didn’t give you a good smack on the botty for that!

I don’t appreciate people making jokes and talking about me in the third person like they knew me from the high school playground.
Also, knowing there are art patrons out there but not knowing where and how to find them is not very helpful.
Generally you will need to find a place to display your art to get someonoe interested enough in what you do to get patronage.
Lets go with paintings for example.
Find a place to have them displayed. If you can’t get them in a galley often local bars, restaurants and coffee shops will be willing to display them. To get them to do this you should have decent business cards made and a professional portfolio. Expect the process to be like a job interview.
Its just a starting point but works for many small local artists.
Sweet fancy Moses.. can’t find the edit button… that was supposed to be gallery, not galley.
