Thank You Pittsburgh Society of Artists

I want to thank the Pittsburgh Society of Artists for inviting me to present Building a Dynamic Web Presence during their member meeting via Zoom last weekend.

We discussed how visual artists could use blogging to strategically and systematically promote their work.

While I’d rather meet artists in person, I’m thankful that technology provides a way for these programs to continue.

Interested in having me present to your group?   Please contact me at becky@artis-advantage.com.

Thank You Upper St. Clair League for the Arts

I want to thank the Upper St. Clair League for the Arts for inviting me to present at their member meeting last night.

The topic was Building a Strategic Web Presence, where we talked about how visual artists can use blogging to strategically and systematically promote their work. This was the first talk where I was able to focus solely on the topic of blogging for an art business, which as you’ve probably figured out by now, is my passion.

They are a friendly, attentive group.  If you are a visual artist in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, I encourage you to visit this art league.

Please visit my Events page, to find out where you can catch this talk.  If you’d like to schedule this presentation for your group, please contact me at becky@artisan-advantage.com.

Learn how a simple blog-based website can serve as the marketing hub for a visual art business.  The goal of this talk is to show artists how to use this type site to present and promote their work effectively online.  And it’s not as hard as it looks!

Some things that we will talk about include the following:

– How and why the blog works as a presentation and promotional tool for any artist, no matter the medium they are working in or the state of their art career.

– Misconceptions about blogging and websites.

– Different options for building your blog and website.

– Examples of information you can share on a blog.

-How to cultivate an audience through blogging.

-Examples of artist blogs.

There will be time for Q&A at the end.

I look forward to presenting and hope to see you there!

 

 

Art Marketing Round Table – Round #1

Today was the first in a series of  Art Marketing Round Table events in the Pittsburgh area.  Full disclosure – we met at a rectangular table…but it worked!  Eleven artists with a wide range of talents came together to learn about and discuss writing an artist statement. Everyone participated and shared thoughts, frustrations, and ideas about writing their statements.

The event was enough of a success that we decided to have a follow-up meeting in a few weeks after everyone takes the time to use what was learned today and work on their statements.    Not only did we benefit from listening to other artist ideas, but some new relationships were formed.

If you missed today’s event, there is a second Round Table scheduled for this Saturday, June 24th.  The event will be the same format that was facilitated today, to give another group of artists an opportunity to learn and grow in this area.

Thanks to Cindy Gilberti at Gilberti Fine Art Studio & Gallery for hosting the event, and thanks to the artists who came and participated fully in the discussion!

To join in the next Round Table, sign-up here.

Are you struggling to write an artist statement? Do you need an artist statement, but are unsure where to begin writing one?

Pittsburgh and surrounding area artists are invited to participate in an Art Marketing Round Table Discussion, hosted by Gilberti Fine Art Studio and Gallery in Coraopolis, PA.   Art marketing consultant Becky Sciullo and artist/gallery owner Cindy Gilberti will lead a discussion focused on writing an artist statement.   There are two different opportunities to attend in order to accommodate schedules.

The round tables will start with a short 15 minute overview of the topic, followed by group discussion with an opportunity for artists to ask questions, share ideas and listen to what other artists have to say about the topic.

The events are free of charge.  Size is limited to 15 participants per session and pre-registration is required.  Please register at one of the links below.
If you have an artist statement that you’d like to share or review, bring it along. If not, that’s fine too! Just come prepared to take notes.
