Prof. Kenney Mencher – How to Market Fine Art in Galleries and Virtual Spaces
Everything you need to know about, photographing your work, applying to galleries, selling your work online, and Internet marketing.
At the end of my course, students will be able to, identify different venues to sell artwork, including Internet sites and brick-and-mortar establishments such as art galleries and coffee shops. Students will also be able to photograph and edit their artwork. Students will also be able to generate catalogs using Adobe Photoshop quickly and easily and submit these catalogs to clients and art galleries. Students will be able to use social networking sites such as, Facebook,Tumblr, Instagram, Pinterest, Linkedin, to establish a reputation and market their artwork. Students will also learn how to create a blog with Google blogs and will learn how to create and generate content for the blog that pertains to their personal life as an artist, interesting content that reflects well on themselves, and of course spotlight their artwork.
The type of person who should take this course can either be an artist who wishes to market their artwork by themselves and learn to use marketing techniques to promote and sell their own artwork. However, this course would also be of equal value to a friend or family member or even someone looking to establish a business as an art marketing guru. Another type of individual who could benefit from this course could be someone who owns a gallery, is thinking about establishing a gallery, or wants to open up a virtual gallery site and market other people’s artwork.
Students should have at least 12 good works of art to sell, a computer, a smartphone and access to the internet. A single lense reflex camera is nice but a smart phone will do the trick. A copy of any version of Adobe Photoshop is a plus and you can download an older version for free from Adobe. A Paypal account is useful and you may want to set up an Etsy.com account before you begin the course.
