group,

Learn how to market your art more effectively!
If you want to be a successful, well-recognized artist, you must do more than make great
art.
You must learn to use the POWER of the internet to help people discover you and your
art.
FIND OUT what you need to do in this 3 hour class. NEW
INFORMATION has been added.
Learn how to tell if you are ready to look for a gallery.
Learn how to select a gallery where your work will fit...a
gallery that might want to show your work.
Learn when you might pay to be in a gallery...and how to
evaluate whether you might benefit from this choice.
Learn the questions to ask before you pay for expensive advice
from anyone.
There are many more artists than galleries.
AND being in a gallery is not the only way to show and sell your
art.
No one solution is right for everyone.
Learn how to choose the path that is right for you...based on
your goals, desires, needs and situation.
The Business of Art…
How to Make the Choices that Will Serve Your Goals.
***Perhaps you would like to have a personal meeting
with me...
to ask your own questions and get my personal suggestions, especially for you.
I am available for private consultations. You can meet with me, one-to-one,
for 90 minutes for only $125. We can work together for 3 hours for $225.
The meeting can be in person or on the telephone. Call me to make your appointment.
Are you working full time, struggling to find time &
energy to paint?
Are you dreaming of the day you can quit your day job,
paint full time, & let your art support you?
Or would you just like to sell enough to pay for classes,
supplies & some travel,
without spending a lot of time & energy on the effort?
The right information can help you reach your goals.
***NO SPECIFIC RESULTS are guaranteed. Results vary widely.
There is work to be done. You can do it yourself, or you can have someone do it for you.
(I'm not offering to do anything for you.)
The only sure thing is that if you do not take action, nothing will happen.
I’m a working artist who has been supporting myself with
my art since 1972.
Would you like to learn how I do it?
In this class I reveal my secrets of HOW I do it...and why.
I share what I have found that works & what doesn't work.
You’ll learn ways to get a website
inexpensively…one that you can update yourself.
You’ll learn how to get people to visit it.
You’ll learn how to sell online & how to pick the way that will work best for
you.
You’ll learn how to find the right price for your art so you will cover all expenses,
including your time. Because if you aren’t paid for your time, you’ll need that
JOB.
You'll learn how to get free publicity that is far more valuable than any
advertising.
I will not tell you that all of this is easy or
simple.
But if you know what to do and you do any part of it,
you will be far ahead of where you are now.
You will have a real advantage over artists who do not know what to do.
This class provides the step by step plan for you to begin marketing your art effectively
and with confidence.
Take the class & learn what to do.
Follow the plan. Take the steps one-at-a-time, as you can.
Watch your art income grow.
When you have enough art income, you can quit the day job
I’m the only
working artist who is sharing information about selling & pricing art.
I also include valuable information about how to get free publicity.
If you want to learn these things, you can learn them in my Business of Art Class.
In this class I have broken marketing down into easy steps
that you can effortlessly follow to start selling your art.
Knowledge is power, but
it is elusive and hard to gain, so take advantage of mine.
My best opportunities come to me through my web site.
Wouldn’t you like to be able to say the same?
Get the missing pieces to the art marketing puzzle.
I developed this class based on my own experience &
observations.
I've taught it for the Brazos Valley Art League, Houston Civic Arts
Association and the Conroe Art League.
If you would like to have me teach it for your art league, please
contact me to make arrangements.
Get all your questions answered.
You will receive far more information than you can do right away.
You will use this material for years.
Each step that you take will lead to more success.
This class is an investment in you and your
art. The price is small. The VALUE is large.
All participants
will receive written guide book with resources & sample press releases.

reach your goals,
and answer your marketing, networking, pricing and other questions. Call me to make your

***NO SPECIFIC RESULTS are guaranteed. Results
vary widely.
The actions you take usually have a bigger effect on results than the art has.
I am not offering to do any work for you.
The only sure thing is that if you do not take action, nothing will happen.
After this class you will have a much better understanding of the actions to take, based
on YOUR goals.

need to increase your visibility and sales.

me speak to your group,
please give my contact information to your group program chairperson.
A recent class participant, who already had a web site and
wanted to learn how to get more visitors to it, emailed me the next day:
"Ann, I just want to thank you for your
training.
As an instructor of over 10 years, I am especially grateful
for the special time you dedicated to me and my specifics.
In Italy we say: 'Sei
una fonte inesauribile.'
Literally it means 'you are an endless well' of information.
Thank you!
Regards,
Susan" www.shsartandgift.com
Knowledge is power.
Are you ready to get the knowledge you need?
Knowledge + Inspiration + Action = Success
Get
the Knowledge you need and take inspired action to achieve your success!
Are you looking for the best ways to
show and sell your art?
Do you want to reap the benefits
from the years of classes and work you have invested in your art?
Would you like to increase your level
of success?
Would you like to learn how to promote
yourself--to make others aware of you and your art--using the power of the internet AND
the power of free publicity?
In this class I share with you the knowledge I acquired
during my years of experience.
Are you confused about what to do and how to do it, to make
selling your art an income-producing business?
Don't be stopped by lack of knowledge.
SMALL improvements can make a BIG DIFFERENCE.
Learn first-hand what works and what doesn't work.
Instead of spending time searching for information, and
evaluating the credibility of each information source, you can spend 3 hours of your time
in this class and get the information from someone who has figured out what works by
actually doing it.
You will learn the steps to take.
Taking just one step can bring you far more income than the small price of the class.
Then YOU DECIDE which steps (or
actions) you want to take first. Choose the ones that feel comfortable to you. Some
of them are so easy that you could already be doing them, if you knew what they were.
Each step you take helps you feel more
confident and increases your success.
This class provides valuable
information for artists at all levels.
Learn the essential steps to increasing your visibility and your credibility.
Take action at your own pace.
Refer back to the class information whenever you are ready to take another step.
Everything is clear and easy to understand. Nothing is left to memory.

Sheila attended my December class.She went home and took action. As a result, she has
built an awesome web site.
Sheila, thank you for sharing. I know you
will inspire other artists by sharing your process of working through the overwhelm. When
a task feels huge, we each tend to think it is beyond our abilities. But by breaking it
down and taking one step at a time, we can complete any task...just like eating that
elephant.
Sheila said:
"When I took Ann's Business of Art class last December, I felt so intimidated!After all, I'm an artist, not a business woman.And there was so much information!I must admit, I left feeling a little overwhelmed.
BUT I decided to begin like you do when you eat an
elephant--one bite at a time!I began readingthrough the notebook (a BIG help) and doing little
things, like getting a URL address.
Each time I took a step and succeeded, my confidence rose.
The key is to just START.
Within a month, I had a web site up and running, business
cards and postcards in hand, and now, a photo blog---all because Ann told me I could, and
gave me good tools to work with!If I can do
it, anyone can do it!"
Joy purchased the Workbook & CDs.
You
can benefit from this information, even if you cannot attend the class in person.
Joy found the originl information so helpful she came to my studio to
take "How to Price your Art for Profit" in June.

Joy Cottrell of Spring, Texas, said:
"I'm listening to your first CD in my car. I just love it. It's clear & easy to
hear.
Thanks to you, I'm convinced I can just do an inexpensive, simple web site---just to show
my work.
Now I know I can and should start with a place to
lead people just so they can see my work! And the advice to use my name & .com is
invaluable.
Thank you so much for sharing this down-to-earth
information, for sharing your mistakes, & for not sounding high & mighty perfect!!
It gives us hope! I've just pretty-well skimmed everything, but I will study & re-read
as time permits."
Ron Stokes attended "How to Get your Artist Web Site"
in July.
"I have just finished my first reading of your workbook
and I just wanted you to know that the emotional result is like one being filled with high
octane fuel. The information is so useful and your coaching segments near the end really
inspire one to work harder to achieve one's art-art career goals.
Your workbook strategy works; the information combined with the
very useful websites makes your workbook a complete beginners' instrument that one can
take and use to complete one's first website.
Again, thank you for the class and your careful and
meaningful instruction."
Ron Stokes, Angleton
