Painters Tip


Preparing Applications


Artists often have to prepare submissions for museum exhibitions, paint outs, gallery shows and so forth. It is imperative to respond exactly as directed. This is not the time for creative license or rebellion. All time lines must be met and all materials which are required must be gathered up. You must keep your resume, artist statement and bio updated and ready to send via email or postal immediately. You must have the ability to make CD's with digital images, as slides become more arcane.

Many of the art centers and museums are on a tight schedule and must have materials immediately in order to publicise their events properly.

Here is a list of the items I have at all times, ready to send out via email or via postal hard copies:

Current Resume
Artist Statement
Artist Bio
Brochure
Multiple business cards
Gallery Sheet of Images
CD of 15 images

Opportunities sometime come up literally overnight with a narrow window. It is simple to send out the above information and follow up with specific Inventories, etc. when appropriate.

If you do not have a digital camera, pay a photographer to take 10 good images, which you can have put on multiple CD's and continue to copy.

If you are always prepared, you will have many more opportunities.
