Contemporary media has opened many avenues to artists, with art community websites, personal web pages, and social media. However, it’s important not to just live online—your local art scene still offers many opportunities. Exhibiting and selling also involves a considerable amount of self-promotion. Artists must market themselves, particularly if they don’t have representation. This may include blogging or doing newspaper and radio interviews to promote their work. It also involves finding places to exhibit and designing marketing material like business cards.
