Artist Awareness and Branding

Great art is not the only factor in selling your artwork. Branding and awareness plays a critical roll as it does with all great art through history. The more people that know about you and your work, usually the higher the price artwork commands, and of course, the more you will sell. Marketing does not have to be time consuming either. By joing a peer group you are getting yourself know as well as learning what the art market is about in your chosen field. Here is a collection of very active forum groups that can be helpful to your branding. It only takes a minute to join by clicking the links listed below.
