Dear Art Enthusiasts and Artists, It all hinges on you. As artists, we are often solitary worker bees, busy with production in home studios or obsolete hidey-holes that fit the needs of affordability, but sacrifice accessibility by our adoring public. We need both, the uninterrupted time to produce and the public exposure for our work. Marketing exposure, along with all of the other business functions of running the whole dog and pony show is a complicated and exhausting process. For the artists out there, Artists Next Door is just one small marketing tool that offers introduction of the many talented artists around our area to the public at large. This blog, video and supporting social media is a chance to showcase our work and provide others a peek at the where and how. Each month (or more as we get rolling) an artist from our region will be showcased in a video interview that is a brief showcase of their studio and work. In addition, that artist will publish the blog for the month. This is an open invitation to all art enthusiasts. We are confident that you will find interest in this introduction of art and artists, hopefully gaining insight and a deeper appreciation. We, as artists, can’t function without the audience, the patron, or your enthusiasm. There is a true joy in sharing our time and talents with all. This blog spot and the hatching of this idea can only work if you, as an audience, are engaged and interested in what is being presented. So, I am asking for your feed back, encouragement, and constructive criticism on these efforts. I thank you for your time and interest. Please like our FB page, view the videos, read the blogs and stay tuned, as there is a lot more to come. |
