Artist Qualifications [adds to prior post]
ArtBizBuz.com has updated the post about artists qualifications for licensing representation:
[] Provide a link to an internet site where your artwork can be seen; and, for heaven’s sake present your art in a professional manner. A key indicator for qualification is whether or not the artist can work comfortably in today’s digital universe; our selection factors include the artist’s web site, and how the artwork is presented.
[] Show only your best and freshest art. We need to see about 24 to 100 images from your web portfolio
[] Check our website to see what kind of art we currently display. If your art doesn’t fit, then don’t apply.

Making Art For Money
What is success in art? Is it fame? Is it artistic satisfaction? Is it the sense of fulfillment? Is it even correct to consider success in art?
It is clear that if you are defining your marketing success, then it is about money. The business dimension of your art activities can be calculated and measured numerically; your measure of success is based upon the money you made from selling your art. Art business success should be separated and kept apart from artistic success. The topic of this discussion is success in the art market.

Does an Artist Really Need An Agent?
Comments Off
Quick answer: “No!”
Smart answer: “Maybe. Depends”!
Ask yourself a few questions:
* do you have the time to make art AND find someone to license it?
* do you know who to contact to license your art?
* do you enjoy selling?
* do you understand the basic concepts of a licensing contract (term, territory, product use, fees, payment terms, rights granted, personal liabilities, artmasters, royalties vs. flat fee — and more)?
* do you know how to negotiate the best fee?
* do you understand all the technical aspects needed to prepare your art for the manufacturer; should you pay for a 4×5 transparency or should you get a high resolution scan?
* will you do it all; can you do it all?

Some Good Artists May Need Help
Comments Off
It has been said that there are more people making art than are buying
art. That means that visibility is crucial if artists want their work
to be seen by buyers.
The visibility problem is worse for some very good artists who may not
be not savvy about the business of art, or who simply lack an essential
bit of knowledge about internet art marketing. As a result, these
artists are not able to successfully promote themselves or their art.
Some artists intuitively know that they want more from their art, but
may need help in order to verbalize, organize or categorize their
wants.
