"Discover An Exciting Way To Expand Your World As An Artist By Learning How To Successfully Sell Your Art At Outdoor Shows and Festivals"
Discover All The Strategies and Secrets I've Learned From Selling Art at Outdoor Shows, Art Fairs And Festivals, and How YOU Too Can Maximise Your Success As An Artist, Exhibiting Your Art For Sale
Dear Fellow Artist,
One major problem many artists suffer from is believing in the "exposure myth".
I believed in it once upon a time too.
You've probably heard it all yourself…
"Why don't you put your art in the café down the road? It will be great EXPOSURE for you," is one of the most common suggestions I received when I first started out.
Friends, family and colleagues, who really mean well, are often the biggest culprits. Gosh, we love them though don't we? Although they want you to succeed, they don't know a lot about marketing art.
"You should try getting your art hung at the airport… lot's of people go through there!" is another suggestion.
Really? Is that such a great way to sell your art? I would have thought people were in too much of a hurry to stop and buy art. They have a plane to catch.
"Why don't you try and sell your art on the Internet," is yet another common suggestion.
Granted, the Internet is a marvellous tool for promoting, marketing and selling your art, but it does take a bit of time to really grasp the mechanics of marketing your art for sale online.
You have to build a website, create a blog, upload content, deal with technical website stuff, set up an online shopping cart to receive payments, and most importantly of all… you have to know how to continually drive lots and lots of traffic to your website.
Well, despite what the experts may tell you, let me assure you that...
There Is No Easy Solution; But There Is A
Slightly Better Solution
Well, what if you didn't have to deal with all the website stuff for the time being, and could sell your art AND build your online presence.
What if you could put your art in front of lots of "targeted traffic" – the kind of traffic that is actually looking to buy your art, and not the kind of traffic who visit café's to eat - or the kind of traffic at an airport rushing to catch a plane.
In other words; authentic "art buying" traffic!
How good would it feel to be right in front of people who WANT art and have the money to PAY for it?
Wouldn't it be great to be amongst impulse buyers, novice collectors and experienced collectors who have ventured out of their homes to attend an event, knowing full well there will be art on display for sale?
Yes, of course. I mean; I know it feels good, I have experienced it for myself many times over.
That is why I firmly believe one of the BEST ways to market and sell your art is through outdoor shows and festivals.
Why?
Outdoor art shows and festivals provide what you ultimately need… a target market of buyers.
If you want to put an end to the "getting-exposure-for-the-sake-of-getting-exposure" malarkey, and avoid dealing with any of the technical online website stuff (for the time being anyway) to just focus on actually selling your art - then outdoor shows and festivals is the solution.
"Get Your Art Out There! - The Artists JUICY Guide To Selling Art at Outdoor Shows and Festivals" details everything I've learned and applied for getting the BEST results for selling your art from your own exhibit stall.
The best part is...
You don't have to re-invent the wheel and go through the same learning curve I did to figure out what really works. I've done all the leg work for you.
I've written this book as a step-by-step information resource to help you succeed in selling your art at outdoor shows and festivals..
"How Do I Know What I Know About
Selling Art at Outdoor Shows
And Festivals, Anyway?"
Truth is; I didn't do very well at all when I first started trying to market and sell my art at fairs and outdoor shows.
I went in with the wrong attitude, which was: "I'll see how I go".
The "I'll see how I go" mentality meant that I didn't have to do any thinking. It meant I didn't have to commit to learning anything about how to actually go about selling some art an outdoor show or festival.
So how do you think I ventured as a result? Well let me put it this way:
Have you ever had that super-low feeling of rejection in the pit of your stomach? Well if you have, then you know exactly what I was experiencing.
I didn't manage to sell any art.
Man-oh-man was it so frustrating to stand beside my exhibit stall all day long and not get any interest from the passing public. After the days count (there certainly wasn't anything to count, but you get my drift) I realised that the whole event had actually cost me money!
"What the...?"
I didn't give up though. I got smart pretty quick. I started asking questions, talking to people who knew what I needed to know. I applied new techniques and took note of what actually worked.
I kept adjusting my approach, and then things started to take off. As a result; I started seeing a LOT more traffic coming through my exhibit display, art sales and the money that accompanies it. I also started getting commission work.
Don't get me wrong; I'm not telling you this to show off. I'm in no way suggesting all of this was easy pickings. I am merely trying to press upon you; that you to can achieve the same results, if you work hard, and follow the tips and techniques I have detailed in my book.
I have to be upfront and tell you that I have not held anything back. This is your complete 215-page, step-by-step art marketing guide to outdoor shows and festivals.

Hello Carl, Thanks so much for your positive feedback! All responses so far have indicated that Art at The Hart 2009 was very successful. I agree that your location was perfect for your larger scale artwork - the natural light was good and there was space for your artwork to 'breathe' and be fully appreciated. Personally I was really pleased to be able to include an artist of your quality and style and am very pleased to hear that you did so well. Best wishes for the festive season and 2010. Cheers, Robert Petchell [http://www.artatthehart.com.au](http://www.artatthehart.com.au/)
