Andrei will be showing his photographs of street musicians, street artists and cemetary scenes from his last trip to New Orleans in April 2013. He will have a reception on June 14, 2013 from 6-8 pm at Collector Art Shop on College Ave. Berkeley, CA. The owners only show local artists. This is Andrei's second show there.  The first show was photograph's of Paris and southern France.  This  show will run for a month and will feature other artists, but no other photographers.  Andrei will have post cards of his promotional shot available for sale as well.

BOOTH SHOW OPPORTUNITY

I was helping a fellow Guild member recently at a local outdoor show. We discussed strategy of how to sell at the show and how to commissions, her main focus. One of the main ideas was to get a mailing list. Since this was her first outdoor show ever, she hadn’t created a mailing list before. If you have ever done a tent show, you know it can be difficult keeping up with all the potential customers who are walking by the booth or stopping in to see the art.

Here's something I wanted you to see regarding my Surfboard Art Program.

I have recently taken a new direction with my "Photo Illustration Art Work"

Surfboard art is not something new. As a matter of fact, art work embedded into surfboard decks
is something that has been going on since the beginning of surfing history.

The work of SDMAAG members Terry Scott Allen and Bob Coletti
will be on display at the Del Mar Art Center Gallery.
April 30th through July 28th, 2013

OPENING RECEPTION: MAY 19TH, 4 - 6 PM
Refreshments Will Be Served - 2 Hour Free Parking with Validation

SOMETHING TO CONTEMPLATE

One of the wonderful things about blogging is that I can explore any topic that comes up in my life at the time I’m writing the next blog. I’d written a post about why people fail at social media marketing and decided to hold it for another time, maybe my next post. After a discussion with a fellow member of the Guild Board, I decided to discuss something else. I’ve been researching artists who sell their art online successfully and how they do it.

A CHANGE OF DIRECTION

As I started to review this week’s blog, I decided to make a change in direction. I had planned to talk about using social media and, instead, I’m going to define social media, discuss marketing in general and later apply that to social media.

WHAT IS SOCIAL MEDIA?
