Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: A part from the obvious that has been stated regarding your website. ( It does not function properly, change it ASAP), You are extremely Talented. You should have no problem selling you art. Your style of Naive painting is very sophistocated and really beautiful. Definitions of Naive paintings below. http://www.daprix.com/barton/artist/naiv... http://www.hmnu.org/en/default.asp... http://www.annestrasberg.com/naiveeng.ph... http://ca.search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf... Please get yourself an agent. You should have some one Represent you and get your work into some Reputable Galleries. I do not know what City or Country that you are from but do a search on the net to get one. Obviously you can Market Yourself, However with the help of a proffesional I believe that you will go farther than you may imagine with your work. You can check through my answers to believe me when I tell you that I rarely, if ever, make a comment about any of the other Artist's work on here. If you should decide to try to market you work yourself let me suggest the following; Conduct a "personal survey" to familiarize yourself with the art offerings in your area. Use the basic resources that are already available to you like community newsletters, mall flyers, phonebooks, artist organizations, elementary school auctions, fundraisers. Prepare an informal catalogue or list of the available venues currently in use throughout your region. Think about places where your friends have shown their work or places that are not conventional galleries or exhibition spaces but have the ability to show art and decorative items under special circumstances (e.g., caf㩳, coffeeshops, libraries, etc.) Contact your local park and recreation office or other community organizations. They often have events that would include artists works and sometimes even offer artists opportunities to conduct a one day instructional program or seminar. Community art museums are options (and usually, curators will try to get space for local artists to show their work at least we did when I worked as a curator). Many artists help the educational mission of the museum and show their work within that context before going on to local, regional, and national juried shows or dealership and gallery exhibitions. Good, old fashioned hard work and community unity is always a solution. One approach is to organize your own event to showcase local or regional artistic talent. Seek out volunteers, ask friends, other artists, and community members to contribute time and/or funding. Try to entice local community organizations or businesses to pitch in and assist the event and its cause. Many community businesses will help support the arts in this manner and if you plan something that also can attract young people and seniors alike, you have a definite winner. Organize a public calendar or prepare a flyer outlining your art events giving dates, locations, times, and activities. Contact your state and local arts commission for information about grants and other opportunities. http://www.drloriv.com/advice/promote.ht... http://ca.search.yahoo.com/search?p=how+... http://ca.search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf... http://www.letsgetdigital.ca/artpromo.ht... http://www.teras-wish.com/promoting.htm.... http://ca.search.yahoo.com/bin/search?fr...
