Hello All,
To help promote you and the festival, we're creating a special section on our website featuring short, personal videos from each exhibiting artist — giving visitors a chance to meet you before they attend.
HERE is a link to Canada's Artist Project show with artist videos for inspiration.
It is no longer OK for" business as usual" to be the standard? Joanna and I have been at this for almost 4 decades. Today, we are surrounded by new marketing challenges, and we are looking to find new ways and all the tools we have at hand to market our show and attract buyers. Since this is our 25th anniversary, we are giving all of you an opportunity to contribute significantly to your success.
The first 50 submissions received will be used. If we are unable to use your video for some reason we will notify you. The deadline is June 1. We will launch once we have received a minimum of 3. The resulting possibilities are fascinating. How remarkable the outcome might be remains to be seen. The impact on attendance and your sales may be measurable. If you provide the video, then the result will become quite clear.
Our email to everyone in our client database will invite them to visit our website and meet you in your studio. This is going to be a first. It's up to you to make it happen in a big way.
Finally, we are awarding a free booth at next year's show to the artist who makes the best video. You will all have the opportunity to vote.
We will install your video in our website and launch as soon as we have received the first 3.
