new business card
Art in Bars is pleased to announce that we are beginning our second phase – moving towards being an active member in the placement of artists in alternative spaces – and becoming a sole proprietorship. I would also like to announce the addition of Del Lovett as the Director of Artists. Del will most likely not participate in the blog, but rather focus on the behind the scenes artist recruitment. Del is herself a painter, with a BFA from Moore College of Art and Design. Her partnership will assure the high quality of artists represented, expand and diversify the businesses we work with, and ensure the smooth work review and installation processes. If you are interested in working with Art in Bars, please contact us at admin@artinbars.com.
The Pitch to Artists – What Art in Bars can do for you: Art in Bars is dedicated to promoting emerging artists by connecting their work with alternative exhibition spaces. We target your artwork to businesses and clients that share an aesthetic affinity with your work. We handle all presentation, timeline planning, and public relations, allowing you to focus on your art work while your career matures and you establish a sales and showing history. Art in Bars does more than provide you with a venue to exhibit in; we handle all event and artist promotion. Utilizing our years of experience in art promotion, your shows are highlighted in the appropriate publications, online venues, and listings, heightening your visibility in the arts scene. The onus is on us to provide timely, concise accurate press releases with juicy pull lines, appropriate quality images, and to maintain visibility in the crowded marketplace, allowing you to focus on your art and reap the benefits. There is no long term commitment required – we are interested in helping establish your career and fully expect you to move on to bigger and better things. Check the Featured Artists page for some FAQ and then e-mail me at admin@artinbars.com with your questions so I can expand the section to fit your needs.
