I receive forwards of shows and calls and artist tips on a regular basis.  Some are wonderful; some are too basic to pass along.  I try to filter them to offer the best and brightest to you because I know how busy you are.

A few days ago, I received a list of press contacts of reporters searching for subjects to interview from my friend and Austin-based writer Dean Lofton.  Among them was The Abundant Artist.  I knew instantly upon reading the tagline “dispelling the starving artist myth” that we were like-minded. 

At the heart of The Abundant Artist is an opportunity to pay for an art marketing consultant.  And, while you may or may not be ready for that step, I recommend that you subscribe to the weekly email newsletter. 

I subscribed, and in my introductory email was offered an interview with Ann Rae, a California painter know for both her vineyard paintings and phenomenal success through unique marketing strategy. 

You’ll need the password to hear the interview, so sign up for the email list today.  It is worth it.  I promise.  If you are one of those artists that bristle at the idea of marketing your artwork or thinking of your artwork as a business opportunity–don’t visit this site…You won’t like what you hear.  You should stay home and muse to yourself about being under-appreciated.

Lesson learned?  Find your voice.  I’ve found my voice.  How ’bout you?
