We provide free articles about the business of art and fee-based services to help you market your art.

There is information about how to market your art, about copyright, about promoting your art via the internet, about publishing your art, about art licensing, and much, much more.

If you are looking for an artists representative, that is not what we do. We are artist's consultants. We provide the tools needed to put you in charge of your art career. Part of what we do can be to help you determine if an artists representative is needed, and if so, then advise you on techniques for finding a good one.

The concept behind our service is to develop the framework for an Internet-based Art Marketing Program with a view towards helping you, the artist, become successful in selling your artwork via reproductions and by fine art licensing of artwork. The program offers you the tools to do it yourself, or to understand what is required to find a good agent to work on your behalf.

As the manager of your art career, you need to decide whether or not to hire professionals to assist. For example, once you have formulated your plan, you might decide that you need to hire a sales professional, or an accountant, or a web designer. In other words, you will be the one managing the process and making the decisions regarding who does the work.
