artist self-promotion information
Claire Haxby put together a terrific promotional tool to send out in her newsletter. Here it is below, formatted as large as my blog will allow–contact her and she will send it to you full size.
This is what she sent to me:
Hi Marie
Fast and easy to get your own, here is my Countune.
In the About section of Countune Gerd Jansens explains his project, in part–”Why should a picture always belong to just one person? This picture belongs to everyone, so it brings people and ideas together. Countune is an “International Internet Social Art Project” and a registered Trademark. It is a new concept for exhibiting pictoral art. Its significance is rooted in an on-going graphic representation of the sequence of natural numbers.”
You can download your countune in two versions.
Artists, don’t waste your ranting skills in LinkedIN groups!
Open Call AxisWeb has an ongoing open call for Rant writers.
Please see The Rant: Pitch for It! for more information about this paid writing opportunity.
INSPIRE / INFORM / PROFILE / CRITIQUE / DEBATE / REVIEW
The Axisweb webzine looks at the contemporary art scene from the perspective of the artists and curators profiled on Axis and our arts professional audience. The webzine prompts, and engages in, topical debates to critically reflect upon the artistic and curatorial practice represented across the Axis website. The webzine features dynamic content from new and established writers seeking to inspire, inform, profile, critique, review and debate contemporary art.
Contributing
We are keen to commission contributions which visually, vocally and creatively respond to the contemporary art scene and current debates from both established and emerging writers. For details on contributing see the call for submissions page.
Axis offers a How To guide for writing for the web and promoting yourself online–http://axistest.axisweb.org/atATCL.aspx?AID=2464
General submission guidelines
You should include the following within your email proposal(view call for submissions page for email address):
As a guide, written texts will not be considered if they are more than 1500 words. Podcasts and audio or video clips are either presented as a series of short clips or as one feature (30 mins max).
Any work commissioned to feature in the webzine is done so on the understanding that it is original material that has not been and will not be published elsewhere. We will consider publishing material that has been or will be published in another source but this MUST be made explicit at the time of submission. If you wish to publish material commissioned by Axis with another publication, at a later date you MUST acknowledge Axis as the commissioner of the work.
If you prefer to send your proposal by post we recommend that you use registered post and retain a copy for yourself; please enclose a self-addressed envelope if you would like this material returned to you.
The selection process
Submitted material will be reviewed by the editor. Proposals will be selected based on their quality and relevance to the current issues and thematic in the webzine. Submissions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and we will respond to you once your proposal has been considered. Please bear in mind that we only commission a small number of articles each year.
All published material is commissioned in agreement with Axis. If your proposal is selected, a contract will be issued detailing our terms and conditions. For details of our fees please contact Lesley Guy.

ArtStack is the social media platform for art, where everyone can share and engage with art they love. ArtStack makes it easy to share art you make and remember art you love. Artists, curators and gallerists use it to reach new audiences, keep fans engaged, and discover new works through their friends and the people they follow.
Adding your work on ArtStack and sharing art you love on your ArtStack profile means that people can easily find your work through their friends and other people who like your work – rather than having to search for your website, which often means that people already need to know your work.
ArtStack enables anyone to engage with the world’s most exciting art and discover work by leading emerging and established artists and works. The site applies the concept of social following to art, so all the works by an artist are all on a single page, you see when a new work by an artist you like is added, and your audience can promote your work to their friends and followers. It simple to make your own online collections and see your work alongside that of artists you admire – and you can also use it to gauge how your works resonate with your audience.
Using ArtStack is simple: people browse and add images to their ‘Stack’ of art to create their own personal art profile; you can follow anyone on the platform to see the art they like and discover new works. To get the most out of the site, add your own works and also stack art by artists you like. Invite friends (they’ll follow you when they sign up) and ask them to stack your works, so that their friends will see your work. Like any social media, space out your activity, so add a few artworks or stack regularly every few days to be present.
You can sign up on the website here: http://theartstack.com/users/signup/mariekazalia

Seek Art, a Beta site for what I refer to as high-end art, produced the RAZE site-specific exhibition in Beijing featuring a range of media, including sculpture, installations, sound, and street actions with QR-Codes appearing as part of the exhibition pointing to a media based project online.
For RAZE, the artist Zhang Ding served placebo ecstasy-shaped cakes to the viewing audience during his performance, inviting them to consume and altering their states of mind or experience through participation. The artist then took portraits of viewers.
Seek Art then produced a limited edition DVD of the RAZE exhibition, available in their /Lab.
The Seek Art shop offers limited-edition art objects created by artists and produced by their /lab.
The SEEK-ART.com network of international artists range in medium and practice. Michele Thursz, Founder and Artistic Director, is an independent cultural producer and consultant based in New York City. From 1999-2009, Thursz co-founded and directed Moving Image Gallery [MIG], NYC, one of the first galleries to show contemporary artists using electronic and computer-based mediums. You will find her contact information on the Seek Art site.

Rory Coyne painting featured on Poets and Artists
I asked Didi Menendez –What brings art collectors to your site? Why have so many purchases been made of artworks published in Poets and Artists? How do you account for this since you are not an online art sales site?
Didi replied–”I attribute the success of the publication to quality versus quantity. I only publish artwork based on my aesthetics and not the mass media. I do not accept advertisers or any other monies because I do not want anyone to dictate what I publish. To me publishing is also an art form. It is a creative outlet for me. I make sure to get the publications in the right hands. I also recently started publishing iARTistas which has a different feel to it.”
iArtistas is an iPAD/digital/print publication. You will find the submission guidelines by clicking on *Submit* in the top menu on both the PoetsandArtists and the iArtistas sites.
Most of the paintings published by PoetsandArtists are figure studies and portraits– also themes of the Howard Tullman Collection. Take a walk-through with the collector in this YouTube video.
