No matter how great your art is, if you
want to be recognized for it you are going to need to promote it.
Making sure that your art pieces reach the right audience and
potential buyers are key to achieving success. If you don't put the
necessary effort to get your work out there, no one will ever be able
to tell you how much they love it or purchase a piece.
Promoting your art is not as
overwhelming as you might think. All you have to do to ensure an
enjoyable experience is take one step at a time. In fact, one of the
secrets to a successful promotion is that it is focused on the
specific goals you have in mind. Here are some effective ways that
you may want to consider to promote your artwork and get recognized
in the artistic community.
Online Art Marketplace
There are many art galleries that sell
paintings online that offer free membership. As a member of their
gallery, you will be able to upload as much artwork as you would like
and have your own profile page linked to all your artworks. Becoming
a member of these galleries that sell paintings online is
completely risk-free and you often can upload your artwork with a
price (including shipping) and a great description. Keep note that
these galleries tend to charge a commission on all sales on artwork
upload by free members.
Social Media
Social Media is essential to becoming
big in the artistic community. Posting your art on places like
Pinterest and Instagram with the right hashtags can really help
promote yourself and your art, making your work extremely relevant
not just in your community, but abroad.
Offer Support
Everyone in the art community needs
support in order to succeed. One of the greatest ways to ensure that
your artwork gets recognized is to help those who are already
performing their own exhibitions. This will allow you to develop
relationships with the artistic community and meet people. Plus,
those that you are helping may feel the need to reciprocate,
introducing you to the people that you need to connect with to become
a famous artist.
Create a Blog
A blog is a great way to promote your
work, to sell your art, and to offer customer support. In other
words, there is no better place to connect with potential customers
than on your blog. Write about things someone in need of an artist
would search for in Google as well as things artists care about. The
secret is to make your blog about them, not you.
