To market your art, you've got to get people to come to your shows and exhibitions. A well-written gallery listing is the first step, but what do you do with that listing once you have put it together?
Elizabeth Burke-Dain's resource article, Marketing for Artists: Submitting a Gallery Listing, shows you how to market your art by finding the publications and web sites that are a good fit for your work, creating a media contact list, and submitting your listings the way editors like to receive them. She also offers tips on timing your submission, what to do when a journalist contacts you about your listing, and other tricks to encourage your fans and followers to attend your latest exhibit.
