Why Art Published by PoetsandArtists Ends Up In So Many Art Collections

3 Comments

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.

Exhibbit 3D Online Gallery Rentals for Artists

6 Comments


Artist Janis N. Senungetuk has a show of her digital photographic art prints, from her Garden of Light series, in the 3D virtual Tiri gallery on the Exhibbit site. All her images are available and ready to ship to buyers. Janis says that the Exhibbit show occurred by chance. This past December Exhibbit posted a contest on Facebook and Janis won a 12 month rental of the Tiri gallery space on the site. Here is a gallery view of her virtual exhibition–

View the entire show here.
This second Exhibbit gallery view is of a virtual exhibition of paintings by Andrew Weis–

“From artists struggling to get their work noticed, to galleries with too many works and not enough wall space, exhibbit provides a stunningly realistic solution” says exhibbit.com CEO Peter Worrall. “An exhibbit show can be embedded into an email or website, shared via Facebook, Twitter or any other social media platform. You don’t even need a website to showcase your work as all exhibitions are hosted free on the exhibbit website. We’re about to change the way that art is viewed online.”

Peter Worrall, who has done cutting edge 3D animation for television and movie industry projects, spent seven years developing the virtual gallery spaces of Exhibbit.
The WeLikeArtists site reviewed Exhibbit recently. You can read their description of accessing and moving around Exhibbit virtual gallery spaces here.

Holiday Sales Op News for Artists

1 Comment

James Day explains his new sales plan for his Art of Day site:

Here’s how Friday’s holiday feature will work.

Normally I post one feature each day (on http://www.artofday.com) for a single artist with up to 20 images. My thought is that instead of Friday being for one artist it will be for up to 20 artists. Each artist will have one image of an artwork of theirs they wish to sell.  All artworks in Friday’s feature will need to be either for sale on the artists website, or placed for sale in the Art of Day store but for a 10% commission. If the art is for sale only via the artists website, a commission is not required.

Information needed:

  • Artist name
  • Title of artwork
  • Medium
  • Size
  • Shipping weight

(if for sale in Art of Day store)

  • Price (US dollars)
  • Link – to artwork in artist store (not required if selling item in Art of Day store) A Buy Now button will be located below each artwork for sale taking visitors to the Art of Day store, or to each artists store where they can purchase the artwork there.

    If you’d like to be included, please send me the info on one (1) of your artworks The artwork must be for sale and ready to ship within 2-3 days if purchased.

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Thank you,

    James

    your press releases

    Leave a comment

    In John R. Math’s article, 10 Ways an Artist Can Develop Their Brand:

    ” Online press releases offer an artist a way in which they can promote their events, openings and other promotions.  Most press release websites include links back to the artist’s website, along with a biography section.  They also offer guides on how to write and form a press release. Search engines pick up these press releases very quickly and they become a major source of the artist’s brand. www.prlog.org www.pressreleasepoint.com www.dbusinessnews.com ”

    Read the entire article on the Art Marketing Strategies site:
