It assists visual art practitioners to keep being productive in their efforts to come out with more art pieces to be sold. A few previous researches featured several marketing strategies for visual arts: nevertheless, there is no attempt to look at visual art marketing from the perspective of Islamic shariah. With uncertainties looming on visual art’s place in marketing world, the researchers recognize the need to study the concept of Islamic shariah in visual art marketing strategies. Based on this identified research gap, this study aims to produce a model that is related to the Islamic shariah concept regarding visual art marketing strategies. As a result, the discussion on the model involves several aspects namely: 1) product; 2) production process; 3) market place; 4) retailer / collectors; and 5) transactions. Recommendation for future research direction in this area is a more comprehensive study on Islamic marketing strategies in visual art.
