How to become a listed artist?
Okay, you've told everyone that you are an
artist, you make art, you have a studio, you
have a website, you have approached
galleries, but you are still having a tough time
marketing your work. The thing to remember
is that most collectors not only buy the
artwork, but the artist too! The same
goes for galleries. They not only sell the
artwork, but the artist too. That is why you, the
artist, have to take the time to give the gallery
something to market about you. Give the
collector something to buy.
Even an emerging artists can have an instant
resume, and emerge as a listed artist. Most
serious collectors want to be sure that the
artist who's work they are buying is a serious
artist who will be around for the long haul.
The artist who takes the time to become
listed, a documented artist, is saying "hey, I
am here to stay!" It is another way to give
credibility to your work, and an important
one. This also raises the value of your work,
and in the long run, enables you to ask more
for it.
The following are links to several publishers
where you can submit your biography in
order to become a listed artist. It will take
awhile to process your biography so please
be patient.
