Week 01("Artist Tips for Successful Art Openings")

http://www.artbusiness.com/openingtips.html


 This article about successful exhibitions is quite useful for the beginners to run their art show auspiciously. I picked up few main points like:-
  1.  Successful opening.
  2.  Craft a compelling announcement.
  3.  DON'T charge admissions.
  4.  Art openings should be free.
  5.  No charging for refreshments. 
  6. Invite art critics or art writers. 
  7.  Make sure all art is priced on the walls or pedestals. 
  8.  Be available to speak with anyone who shows any level of interest in your art.
