It’s never too early to start promoting your open studio, book launch, event, or exhibition. Creating anticipation means you are preparing people for something big. You are building expectation, excitement, and suspense! If you have a major event in the future, don’t wait until a month or two before it begins to tell people about it. Start dripping information about it now. But, and here’s the clincher, add variety to your missives to ensure the news is never stale. “Come to my exhibit!” gets...Source: ArtBizBlog.com

Parents are rightly concerned about their children’s future, but with preparation, an art student can excel in life. In honor of Fathers’ Day week (Can I declare a week for all dads?), I share this query from John G. from my Facebook page. He wrote: I have 19-year-old daughter who is passionate about art and is pursuing her dream at college. As a father . . . and as the person paying her entire tuition . . . I’m naturally concerned about how she will turn her passion for art...Source: ArtBizBlog.com

The Answer Is Not What Visual Artists Think. Many businesses don’t know how to correctly answer the question of what business they are in, and they pay a hefty price as a result. Ray Kroc became a billionaire with McDonald’s because he realized the real money was in the real estate leasing business. If he had thought he was in the hamburger or restaurant business, he would have made many errors in judgment on how to build his business empire. Granted, Kroc also took standardizing fast food...Source: ArtPrintIssues.com

Good Morning To You Productions Corp., which is working on a film...Source: ArtLicensingBlog.com

Guest blogger: Gigi Rosenberg Most artists I know cringe at the thought of doing an artist talk. This is what they tell me: Gigi Rosenberg I’m not a performer! I’m not a public speaker! I don’t want to explain what my art is about! I don’t know what to talk about! I don’t think it will make sense! I don’t have anything to wear! The list of objections goes on and on. But then they get invited to give an artist talk at a gallery or at the local art school or they realize there might be some...Source: ArtBizBlog.com

I wanted to give a shout-out to all the artists who will be in Las Vegas next week… If you are exhibiting, break a leg! May the show connect you with some fabulous possibilities that you can turn to gold. If you are heading to the show to check it out and attend the classes, get rested, take notes and really figure out if licensing is for you. I think art licensing is a fit for me because I love the combination of business and art. I love the challenge of creating collections of art...Source: ArtLicensingBlog.com

In the Ask Call with Paul Brent, he talked about trends. One trend that has been going strong for a few years is the OWL. According to Paul and also some rumblings I’ve been hearing from retailers via licensees, the Owl trend may be on the decline. Artist Kate Pitner sent me a link to this very interesting article from the LA Times about the owl in American Culture over the years. When you go to the article, be sure to click on the blue lines on the timeline to see all the info...Source: ArtLicensingBlog.com
