I give away a small painting or small original print of art to collectors (bought more than one painting) or to people for whom (even though I might have already made an accommodation for them) it was a bit of a sacrifice to have bought one of my paintings. It is a special acknowledgement to them as well as a way of building a continuing relationship.

About once a year, during a slow month, I do a give-away “event” on my Facebook Fan Page. In order to register for a free painting, the entrants must comment on my Fan Page what their favorite painting is on my website. This greatly increases traffic on my site. The entrants start imagining the paintings in their own homes (in case they win), and it always seems to result in follow-up sales from some of them. Also, the chatter on Facebook as the entrants rave about their favorite (while they’re registering) creates quite a positive stir.

I am currently giving away all my work, what about public sculpture is that not free art or free experience. Art is all about the experience. My work is about the experience of generosity and fellowship of Mankind. I probably gain as much from the experience as the recipient.

I’ll have to find a way to rework this as a photographer. I’ll let you know how (if) it works out.

It’s really not funny. It’s jaw-dropping if I’m understanding it correctly.

Thanks Alyson and all for showing me the humor in this–it really is ridiculous isn’t it!

Maura: I think I may be missing something because I’m just incredulous at this suggestion.
“Begin a conversation about value”? And then given away???
