Hi, I’ve just been sent this for the first time and trying to find my way through to information that I need. I’m a West Ausie mid career artist, exhibiting nationally in Australia and I’m going to London in two weeks to see my son and hopefully get into some galleries. I have emailed them all a purpose made emails, addressed individually and inserted reasonable size images of work and CV + Artist statment and asked for a meeting. I have only had five replies so far, can you suggest anything else I can try. I have reasonable sucess in Australia and manage to feed the family, however I would like to get some International credability as it really helps push your career and prices up here in Australia.
Should I do follow up calls this week to the galleries? Should I take rolled up originals and hope to walk in the door and just show them,??
I get the impression that they would not accept unsolicited presentations.
Thanks

Re: Copyright on top of your photos.
Alyson,
When I set up my web-site I researched out a number web of artists who did just that put a huge copyright sign over the images. I came up with what worked for me. I added my name, and copyright and date on the bottom of each photo in either a white or black. I did not want to mess with the rest of the photo. The way this works is if someone would like to “copy” my work they still have all of the information about my work, my name and my web-site on the bottom of the actual jpg. One can still enjoy the painting but you can see that I am the artist.
Thanks for your time and all of the wonderful ideas you continue to bring!
