One week old - the new Facebook Page for Art Business Info. for Artists at https://www.facebook.com/artbusinessforartists/

#1 Art Business News for Artists this week
​

Here's some of the things it has highlighted this week:. I'll continue to do periodic round-ups - but you'll see the news first on the Facebook Page!

Art Competitions
  • a reminder that art competitions are a great way to raise your profile
  • link to an explanation of the Call for Entries for the 3rd Derwent Art Prize for Pencil Art
Art Exhibitions - Private Views
  • I went to an art exhibition this week which was extremely well attended from 11:00am in the morning to when it finished in the evening at 8:00pm. I'm going to be commenting next week on my main blog about the reasons why I think this happened
Art Market
  • This is an Artsy article about Figurative Painting’s Market Boom, in 5 Charts
Commercial Art & Licensing 
  • This is the blog of Henri Davis who is an independent retail adviser - the sort of person who provides tips about retail trends and who advises stores about licensing art. (LOTS of you were very interested in this from which I take it that stories about licensing and retailing art would be of interest)
Communication
  • Can you learn anything from the different approaches that artists use to create an artists statement - about themselves and their art? I shared the page on this website which provides examples of what famous artists say about themselves and how they say it
Money and Tax
  • I highlighted a webinar last week run by HM Revenue & Customs about Simpler Income Tax for the Self Employed -  for UK tax-payers with self-employed income (and expenses!)

The Hiscox Online Art Trade Report 2016
Selling Art Online
​This week I did a couple of blog posts which summarised the messages from the  The Hiscox Online Art Trade Report 2016.
  • Selling Art Online 2016 (Part 1: Key Points) looked at the key points and trends in selling art online in the last 12 months
  • Selling Art Online 2016: Part 2 - Online Platforms identified which were the main platforms used and preferred for selling art under £10k in the last 12 months
SEO
  • I highlighted 
Social Media
  • Did you know that Instagram is revising its algorithm so it will reorder content in your feed? Check out Tech Crunch's article about the impact it has had
  • I highlighted a video that Facebook has made about News Feed: Getting Your Content to the Right People
Techies & SEO
  • I highlighted an infographic providing a great BIG SEO checklist - in 75 tip boxes - for optimising how your website appears online and in response to search queries.
  • Did you know you can test out how your website looks on other people's computers, tablets and phones - no matter what the size?
Websites
  • Periodically I will post websites what impress me. This week I took a look at Wolf Khan's website and the slideshow of images on the landing page made me go "Wow" - how about you?
