3 big reasons
to work with
a professional promoter
in the visual
arts:
1. You save time.
You’ve worked for
years to get your art to the point where it demands to be noticed. Now you
discover “the business of art” takes an equal amount of time to put into
motion. We can help you get set up quickly with professional documents to meet
a variety of needs. Once you have ready-to-go personalized and professional
documents, you are ready to fly. Once the foundation is created, you can build
on it yourself in the months and years ahead.
2. It feels good to have
the support.
Yes, you probably
have the skills to do some of this for yourself…just like you can fix the leaky
plumbing at the kitchen sink…but do you really want to? It will take you longer
and involve a certain amount of stress and struggle when all you really want to
be doing is working on your art in your studio. Leave plumbing to plumbers and
writing to writers. Leave press calls to promoters. Hire a professioanal and devote
more time to your creative pursuits.
3. You are worth it.
We have worked with
talented artists who are full of personality and comfortable with
self-promotion and others who are accomplished, recognized, and shy. ..All know
what they are doing and why and can talk about it among friends. All of them want
or need the next level of promotion beyond what they do for themselves. Bottomline:
They felt they owed it to themselves and their art.
You too are worth it.
