Get Your Art Business in Order

Happy New Year! Holidays are over and it’s time to get back into the studio and get creative. But what about all those finished works stacked in a corner, or proudly displayed in your home? You’ve gotten comfortable with them there, right? In fact, you may hate to part with some of them.

But surely you want most of them to light up the faces and hearts their public. If every pot has its lid, then I propose that every art piece has its buyer.

So let’s take the potential of the New Year’s energy to get organized and ready to do business. January is as good a time as any to refocus your online presence, get your portfolio up to date, and get in touch with your art’s market.

Let’s get everything current; artist statement, biography or curriculum vitae, web site’s images, look and feel, and high-quality samples of your work printed and on CD, with an intro letter to knock their socks off.

Who’s with me?  Comments welcome!  Feel free to leave a comment below.
