I saved my all time favorite plugin for the final installation of my top choices for WordPress plugins: NextGEN Gallery. There is so much that you can do with NextGEN Gallery, the least of which is managing and organizing your work into separate distinct galleries. [...] Poor things. They’re barely three years old and they’re already considered past their prime. I’m not talking about the horses running the Triple Crown races this year. I’m talking about your art – where you should and shouldn’t show aging work. [...] Guest blogger Kim Bruce shares how adding an (unobtrusive) watermark to your images protects your art and provides a way for people to find you and your site. [...] 
Consider posting online previews of your work before an opening, but remember – you don’t have to reveal all of the work in a show at once, nor do you have to reveal it to everyone. [...] 
It’s easier to make connections online when you have good photographs. I know I’m relentlessly preaching the value of good language, but don’t neglect excellent photos. And I’m not just talking about photos of your art. [...] If you ever hesitate to use the same image in more than one self-promotion piece, remember this story about why I selected a specific piece of art to use in my newsletter. Familiarity can be a good thing. At least that’s my theory. [...] When you’re asked to provide someone with a digital file of one of your images that is 355 ppi and 400 pixels on the longest side, can you do it within 15-20 minutes? Don’t be hindered by an inability to use technology effectively. And don’t interrupt others for help with something that you should know how to do. [...] 
Photographs of your art in situ add a whole new dimension to the presentation of your work. In art, in situ means the place where the artwork is installed or exhibited. Rather than showing the work by itself, photograph it in a likely environment. [...] Audio version of the newsletter. This podcast discusses the use of in situ photographs of your artwork: where to photograph and what to take into consideration. [...] Which would you rather embrace: The great publicity, goodwill, and friendships that come when others can promote your art (properly!), or the possibility that someone somewhere at some point might use your images improperly? Do what you can to protect your images properly, but don’t be so fearful that you miss out on opportunities for others to promote your art for you. Make it easy to be talked about! [...] |
