Marketing/Sales Opportunity
FOR THE MAYOR'S ART CONTEST, WE WILL BE DOING AN ARTIST BOOK IN THE GALLERY FOR THIS EXHIBITION.
WE WILL ALSO UTILIZE THIS CONTENT FOR SOCIAL MEDIA, ONLINE, AND OTHER FORMS OF MARKETING ON YOUR BEHALF IN AN EFFORT TO INCREASE ART SALES.
[USE A COMPUTER TO DO THIS ONLINE
ARTISTS BOOK ENTRY FORM, NOT A PHONE.]
Save cropped, well-lit photos (jpg format) of your artwork on your computer, which you will also need to upload to this form.
We will be asking you for a bio, so have that finished before you do this entry form. Also, you will want to provide an artist statement about each piece of art you are entering. This statement is a communication tool between you and the audience. Things to think about: What makes you tick as an artist? Tell them what it's about, why you made, it, what it says about the world. (But keep both of these statements short, about one paragraph each.)
