Supercharge Your Art Sales:
Let Them See It, Touch It, Hear It, Taste It, Smell It
Bob Baker, www.PromoteYourCreativity.com
I had no idea there would be a marketing lesson in store as I headed across the Mississippi River on my way to a country fair in Millstadt, Illinois, located just across the river from St. Louis, Missouri. Once there, I saw the expected: pony rides, face painting and strawberry picking...but what really caught my attention was the arts and crafts area. About a dozen or more tables and tents were set up to sell everything from country wood crafts to scented candles to hand-sewn clothing.

December Events
ARIZONA
In Solitude
December 2-31, 2005. An exhibition of new works by ArtistsRegister.com member Kate Timmerman examines the relationship between art and solitude.

The exhibition will take place at eye lounge: a contemporary art space is located at 419 E. Roosevelt Street along the Roosevelt Row Arts District in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. Regular gallery hours are Fridays-5:00pm to 9:00pm, Saturdays-1:00pm to 5:00pm and by appointment. For additional information call eye lounge at 602.430.1490 or visit www.eyelounge.com.
