Add You - Marketing Your Art - Here, There, and Everywhere
Almost all of us love to play games. Toddlers are intrigued by games of manipulating colorful shapes. Seniors crowd bingo halls. Every generation plays games of skill and games of chance from chess to backgammon to tic-tac-toe. Games can be social events, team events or solitary challenges. We watch games filled with vicarious thrills on reality TV. Games are part of the fabric of our lives and have a place in business also.Most games can be broken down into three parts: a challenge, a strategy, and a reward. Surprisingly most business endeavors consist of the same three parts: challenge, strategy, and r
Outdoor shows and festivals are an excellent way for you to generate immediate income and see first hand how the art buying public responds to your work.

Probably the most interesting thing about brochures and leaflets is that they're seldom read in what we've come to know as the right order - as you would read a book. Rather in the same way that many people read magazines in dentists' waiting rooms, they will flick through brochures and leaflets and stop to take a longer look at bits that grab their attention.Alternatively they'll flick all the way through and then go back to bits they've noticed and that have interested them. They're just as likely to flick through from back to front as they are from front to back.What all this teaches
The following are the main areas you should consider: Select two or more (don’t put all your eggs in one basket).
Art Galleries
Begin with developing a list of local art galleries that are within 100-200 miles of you. Art galleries are listed in your regular or on-line yellow pages. Take the time to personally visit each gallery on your list to determine which ones showcase the style of art most compatible with your art. Contact the owner or director of the gallery by telephone for a firm appointment to show your work.
Print Publishers
The print market is very profitable. When your art is in print, it is available and affordable to the widest possible audience, and your originals become more valuable. In my free online booklet, “Marketing Your Art” is available for professional artists wanting to market their artwork.
Fine art publishers can be found in art trade publications such as D?cor Magazine, World Art News or On-line. Develop a list of those publishers you want to contact. The next step would be to send them a professional presentation of your work letting them know you are available for licensing.

How do you do it? You can simply create a mailing piece giving details about your list, mail it to the list brokers (whose names are readily available out of Standard Rate & Data’s Direct Mail Lists, Rates and Data) and sit back and wait for the orders to come in. The broker will bill the renter of your list on your behalf and when he receives payment from his client he’ll remit to you rental income less a commission of 20%. BEWARE: List brokers are frequently slow in paying for rentals. Some list brokers blame it on the fact that their client didn’t pay them but we have heard of cases where the broker has taken w

Banks, Restaurants and Corporations
Thousands of works of art are showcased and sold each year in banks, restaurants, and other private and public facilities every year. These locations are ideal prospects for the showing and selling of your Art. Local artists, local companies and the local public all benefit by having art displays in a bank or restaurant or business.
Co-Op Galleries
Co-op Galleries are generally local art associations that establish a location where fellow artists can hang their art. Contact your local art association for details about membership.
Commission Projects
Interior designers, architects and art consultants are constantly looking for artists. You can generally develop a list by searching your local phone directory yellow pages or online yellow pages. Contact these firms by telephone and send them your brochure.

Your website is your own personal on-line gallery, open 24-7. This is a very cost effective way to show and sell.
A first class website is like a first class brochure; but, even better, it allows you to change and improve without reprinting.
Your website is of little value if no one goes there to view what you do. We cover how to fully maximize your website in our website chapter.
Trade Shows and Art Expos
