Good points on marketing and networking.

Some of the best places for networking I have found include Red Bubble, ImageKind and of course the numerous ning sites lately.

I have been working on it since 2001 for my art. Since then I have been also approached by all of the places you name below. I think they use a mailing list for that and try not to pay for any promotion. With more and more artists on the net nowadays the competition is extremely tough. I have been a very busy artist for about 25 years now, lately I have started to reach what some would call inspiration and confidence in my works. Tell all your fellow students that the key to success is create art because you enjoy it, success will come when you least expect it, but it will not happen over night. The artistic potential is unlimited, but an artist must think outside of the box. If you do what everyone else is doing, your chances of success are limited. But, if you are unique and if you pursue limits outside of the traditional art arena, or box, you will begin to see results faster. This applies to all arts. The competition today with the age of the internet has created stiff competition for artists. Those who stick with it, little by little, day by day, will see results in the long run. Atleast that has been my experience. It is easy to give up on art if you do not enjoy it. If you do not enjoy creating art, you are in the wrong profession. To me art has always been a hobby as my second source of income. Have options and alternatives to your life, but if you love art, maintain and improve your skills; it will pay off! Start out with one theme and get better at it before moving onto other subjects. When creating your site, or sites, use keywords effectively and promote you products to a target audience for your subject. View art.com and see what subjects are selling well.

Self taught and I CAN PAINT FOR ENGLAND AND BLOW MY OWN TRUMPET WHILST DOING IT BLIND FOLDED.

TODAYS ART IS ABOUT SPENDING MORE TIME NET WORKING THAN PAINTING.

I'm lucky I have 200 paintings and over 200 photo images in my personal collection, I can afford to network my art all day every day as I have the stock pile.x


ABOUT NETWORKING.......my tips......

Hi all, I have been net working myself for about a year now .

I have placed my profile on some of the major art net working sites like Art Review.com and Saatchi, 'show your art to the world'.

Although I have met a lot of people on Saatchi, I don't personally think their site is very safe for artists, it's open for you to be attacked.

I find sites like Art Review.com is a great meeting place and you can pick your friends.

In twelve months of net working myelf, I have been offered a space in Florence Biennale, an offer in a Gallery in New York, a personal invite to submit my work to CREATIVE GENIUS
CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS GLOBAL ART BOOK, and a stand in a Manchester Art Show and also at The Harrogate Art Show in Yorkshire Uk.

All these invites would stand me a cost of about £15,000, I think I would be better spending my time networking, this way, I will still meet people and Galleries too, Just need the buyers now.

I think I will just sit and ride it out a while longer and just network net work and more network, this is the future the way to go.

I have met some wonderful people ie artists, Galleries and Collectors too.

I would urge people to open a facebook profile as there are great groups there ie, Galleries and Collectors.

I have over 200 paintings and at least 200 photograph images that are all for sale.

I have a great stock pile and I am planning to take a break from my art for six months to net work myself in the carbon foot print group on art review and here on Ning Network creators.

Please visit my net working places of interest, I look forwards to meeting you all.xx

Love Dawn.xx

Good luck and peace my friends.x

Independent Collectors – Mini Manifesto

We believe that collecting contemporary art is driven by one key factor: passion. Increasing that passion is our aim. To achieve this goal, we strive to share our passion with as many people as possible. Everybody is invited: to learn more about contemporary art, to question it, to inspire and be inspired. We’re not on a mission, but if we can excite others so much that they start collecting themselves, we’ll grow even more passionate.

We are convinced: The most important skill that contemporary art collectors rely on is instinct. But information and contacts are a great help. Independent Collectors is about making these accessible to everyone eager to share. We want to compile the perfect set of tools that we think all collectors should have at their disposal, whether they are new to collecting or experts: instinct, information and contacts.

For us, collecting is closer to hunting than to gathering, because that’s where the thrill is. And hunting is at its most thrilling outside traditional and protectionist structures. We are out to open up a new playing field full of fascinating opportunities and with a different set of rules. That’s why we created Independent Collectors.
