Saatchi Gallery is now hosting an Art Showdown, which is an online competitive event that allows artists to upload images of their work and make them available to an online voting audience. Those who would like to enter must be registered members of Saatchi online or of the Stuart Artist group. However, registration is easy, free, and readily available on the site. Once registered, Showdown accepts one image from each artist every period beginning on Monday at 9 a. m. until the following Sunday evening at 6 p. m. —a one-week period. During the time the work is uploaded to the site, all visitors will be free to view and vote on the quality of the work. Each visitor is permitted only one vote for each work, but may vote on as many works as is preferred. The voting is done on a scale of one (1) to ten (10). Once the scores are tallied for the first week in each period, the two artists with the highest scores are given the chance to compete against each other for additional votes for the period of another week.

These two remaining artists go head to head, vying for a chance to enter for the final prize of £1000. The competition continues for twelve rounds, after each of which, one winner is selected. The final knock out round has the twelve finalists going head to head in a bid for the £1000 prize, yet Saatchi’s support does not end there. This coveted prize will not be the only benefit of the competition, as the runner up is also granted the sum of £750. And even further benefits exist, as all the artists who enter gain the exposure that comes with having your work viewed on the site that welcomes thousands of visitors on a regular basis.

Also, by fully furnishing your gallery, you can gain supporters for your cause that can be beneficial for your business. 1. Green Concepts: You can have a display of art pieces on green concepts for your campaign. One way is to create art pieces that revolve around nature like landscape or mountain concepts. This can help set the ambiance for an environmental campaign. 2. Green Tips and Advice in Canvas: With your art pieces, you can relay environmental messages to your visitors such as recycling, global warming issues, and non-biodegradable concerns. With printing options found online, you can print photos on canvas with printers like UPrinting. 3. Eco-Friendly Print Materials: You can create an art piece by building a collage from green printing products. Through this concept, you get to promote eco-friendliness by using recycled materials. 4. Main Display: To fully promote your campaign, you can use window clings for the main campaign caption. You can use this concept as a come-on by having graphics that promote green living or an art piece that resembles such movement.

Exhibiting Canvas Photos Prints By Subject and Theme Will Win You A Spot in Art Galleries

December 24th, 2009

The artist can certainly submit more than three canvas prints, but each print on canvas should be separated by subject or by theme. To pick a theme, look over the selection of canvas prints that you have and see if any of them fall into a certain category or look. The print on canvas should tell a story in sequence and inspire anyone who goes to the art gallery to look at your work. Printing on canvas can be a fabulous way to tell a story particularly if the quality of the printing process and the subject matter is thought provoking. The artist who finds that there is perhaps only one canvas print worth presenting will do more research and shoot not one canvas print by several canvas prints until there is a theme to present. Print on canvas is showing the work what is different about regular photography and print on canvas that can be interpreted as true art. The artist will find ways of printing on canvas that include cropping and sometimes combining two or three photographs to make one. The true photographer who takes his art seriously will take each canvas print and turn it into a work of art that any gallery would be proud to display. If an artist is accepted in one gallery and his or her work receives rave reviews, it won’t be long before other galleries are calling to request showings of the canvas prints in their galleries. Soon Canvas print will be sold here and there and the artist will gain a reputation and recognize how all the hard work that it takes to create art from a print on canvas truly pays off.

Finding the Target Clients for Your Art Gallery

December 24th, 2009

Different Ways to Market Your Art If you own an art gallery and your are just about to start with promotions, one way to directly get your art pieces out to the public is by using your products as your main marketing tools. Along with your promotional strategies, using the right printed materials that go along with art-related concepts add to the success of your start-up. For most, art pieces are good purchases if your products appeal to their taste and need. Although, art pieces that are launched for the first time need an extra amount of effort to promote and to capture an audience. 1. Gallery Launch: One effective way to build your clientele is to bring your prospects to the gallery. Just before you launch your art pieces, you can print posters for your promotions with concepts derived from the items you will be displaying. 2. Print Portfolio: Just like a photographer or graphic designer, a printed material such as a catalog or booklet is suitable to document your art products. By distributing such prints, you not only depend on gallery visitors but get to extend to specific targets also. 3. Host in Movie Launches: Another way to give your art pieces a better display is by having entertainment marketers use your materials in their events. You can offer your pieces to gatherings that fit well with your art concepts. With this, you gain exposure with new clients. To keep your original products safe, you can do poster printing to produce replicas of your art pieces for the display. More ways to promote gives new ways to reach out to a broader clientele. Also, by printing replicas of your art pieces, you double the chances of gaining new clients in cheaper and more convenient ways.

Print Unique and Sophisticated Art Gallery Business Cards

December 24th, 2009

Art galleries bank heavily on good reputation, so make sure your business cards are ready to carry that responsibility! Make Art Gallery Business Cards with Class *Make business cards for the staff, too! Your art gallery will have more personal significance for people if they have staff people’s identities to identify it with. If you want your visitors to see your staff as inseparable from the gallery, then create a design template, have the staff submit their contact details, and print business cards for them that include the gallery’s contact information. *Have a website? Try putting in just your URL. You should make sure, though, that people can tell your URL is an art gallery website, or at least somehow related to art. Otherwise, if they didn’t look up your website soon after they received your business cards, your recipients will be struggling to remember where they got your card from! *Use custom sizes. Try printing your business cards at half the width, or half the height. This way they can still fit in people’s card holders and still be different enough to be noticeable. Besides, people will be impressed at how you did the same job other business cards did at half the real estate! Now -that’s- classy. *Print on card stock you can write on. Want to make some visitors feel special, or give a high-end sponsor the royal treatment? Write them something extra on the back of your business cards for a truly personal touch. You can leave your personal email or contact number, or leave them a personal note they will always remember you well by. *Quality matters! It would be a shame for an art gallery to have less than quality business cards, so make sure you choose the best printing services available. They don’t even have to be expensive; like a real art connoisseur knows, high quality does not always come at a high price!

If you are looking for a way to spend a quiet afternoon doing something new, think about making a visit to a local art gallery. I think you will be glad you did for a lot of reasons. An art gallery is a great place to spend time and to learn. Think about all of the new things you can discover by taking the time to see new exhibits at a local art gallery. You can learn new forms of art or see new examples of the oldest and most well known forms of art. Maybe you can visit an art gallery at a time when the artist will be there to answer questions about their work. There is no better time to feed your curious mind than by talking with an artist. Have you been aspiring to learn a new artistic skill? If so, get yourself to an art gallery as often as you can. Be inspired by the work of those who have done the things you are hoping to do. Take notes, ask questions, see if you can sign up for a class by one of the local artists. There is no better way to become an artist yourself. If supporting local business and economy is important to you, then visiting a local art gallery should be on your list of ways to show support. Let the local artists know that you care about and appreciate the work they do. Remind them that your community would not be the same without their efforts. If you are looking to decorate a spot in your home you can even consider purchasing a piece or two of art from the local art gallery. There is no better way to support the local business than to buy from it. Visiting an art gallery is a great way to get you, your family and your friends out of the rut of doing the same activities for recreation. Next time you have a free afternoon or evening consider passing up the movie theatre or the bookstore and choosing an art gallery instead. There are so many new things to be learned and appreciated. Expand your mind and your interests to include good art. You will never regret developing yourself and your family into people who can recognize and appreciate important elements that reflect your culture. If you are a parent, begin instilling in your children the value of visiting a local art gallery. Help them to learn why art is important to our culture and encourage them to increase the things they care about to include more than just games and movies. Adding a little cultural experience like visiting an art gallery will be good for you and for them. The artist whose work fills the art gallery you love will be the most appreciate person that you decided to visit. So look up an art gallery and plan to make a visit the nextchance you get.
