Choice Number 1- We do nothing- and nothing happens. Normally, I attempt to make these reminders humorous or fun in my efforts to get participation in the themes. But, I have to tell you- it’s been tough year for all us- me included. The reality is - its hard to think about posting work online when we’re just trying to survive. The natural inclination is to withdraw or even throw in the hat on ALL the cyber insanity. But where does that get us?
We’re living in a cyber world. No one is going to find our work if its not online to be found. Online marketing is not only important for every artist in 2011 but essential if they want sales.
Choice Number 2- We try- and it eventually happens. We pull up our boot strings, post our work on every online avenue available and push throw it. They’ll come. They always do. That’s also reality. You know that.
I certainly don’t have all the answer, but I do know together we can find them. After all, we are artist and creating is what we do. Join us this Saturday. We’re still here and believe me- we get it.
THIS SATURDAY (SEPTEMBER 24TH) the Challenge is doing its annual ‘NO THEME- THEME GALLERY’ for our End of the Summer Sale.
You can send anything you want; new work, old work, theme work, WHAT EVER YOU’VE GOT! AND you can send up to 4 JPEGS for this gallery.Ads WILL be run (i.e. this is a petty $7 pay theme for the month). Don’t miss being a part of it.
(Sculptors and Craft artists ALWAYS WELCOME)
