Alan Wells & Kevin Brown
Marketing your Art
The February 2010 MAG meeting featured "Marketing your Artwork" presented by Alan Wells and Kevin Brown. The program was structured on the basis of fundamental marketing strategies, designed for those who choose to market their work as a Hobby, part time, or a full-time professional. There was practical information for all levels and some insight as to how other artists have found success along with some economical means of promoting your work! Alan provided an excellent overview and an outline which he made available for everyone. The outline can be done in a simplistic approach or as detailed and complex as one needs to fulfill their marketing strategy... With an outcome to promote and sell your work. Kevin followed up by sharing his experiences and growth as a full-time painter and methods that have worked for him, as well as, what has not - He emphasized that in order to sell your work and make a living at it, a business plan is essential and you must treat your craft as a business when it comes to marketing and selling.
