Last month I wrote about finding the Bathtub Art Museum online. What I didn’t mention, and what is most important, is how I came across it. Listen up, because this affects you if you’re hoping to drive browsers to your website. I was actually Googling “Redmond art museum” because I was going to be near […]

Thanks to a PR blitz by Brilliant Studio, my self-promotion workshop this coming Saturday is featured in today’s The News Journal (Wilmington, DE) in an article by Eric Ruth. Apparently, registrations are pouring in and we’re going to have more than 65 artists there. Cool! Read the whole article. Now I’d better write Mr. Ruth

Laura Lein-Svencner writes: I have been offered the opportunity to have a piece of my work [pictured here] published in an 9-12th grade educational bilingual art/photograph book this winter.

Today’s Art Marketing Action newsletter gives you ideas on how to trick yourself into doing the tasks you don’t enjoy. I mention: Take baby steps. You’ll eventually get there. Block out time on your calendar. It shows your commitment. Set your timer. You can do anything for 30 minutes. Get out of your house or

I attended a showing of selections from the Telluride Mountainfilm festival at the American Mountaineering Center here in Golden, CO last Friday night. Famed Colorado photographer John Fielder opened the meeting with a slideshow of his latest book (his first children’s book–out of more than 30 books to his credit). This man is outrageously prolific.

Here I am with Paula Christen (on the right). Paula single-handedly organized the entire–and might I break for a moment to insert “and highly successful”–Art Marketing Action workshop in Winthrop, Washington. Paula is proof positive that artists can do this themselves. In fact, the best workshops I’ve had have been organized by individual artists. (I

News Releases–What NOT to Do Read
Last night Lisa Call and I threw a party for artists who blog, who want to know more about blogging, or who are interested in selling more work online (ahem, you should be blogging!). Yep, that’s all of us in the photo. The party was part of Stormhoek (South Africa) vineyard’s “100 Geek Dinners in
Sipping Wine, Talking about Blogging and Art Read
As I mention in this week’s Art Marketing Action Newsletter, speaking to strangers at parties and art openings is daunting. You begin to doubt: What if I don’t know anyone there? How do I break the ice and introduce myself? What if no one wants to talk to me? How do I carry on a

So, I left Winthrop, WA, this morning after a fantastic workshop yesterday. I’m always psyched when artists get together and talk about marketing their work. There’s so much sharing.
