One day the high street galleries will dance to a very different tune and it will the creator of the art playing (and not the other way round as it is now)

I have been trying to figure out to market myself more to interior designers, and I think your tip about The Guild is right on the money. I also like your sparse but clear way of communicating this information.
Thanks, Bruce.

They are mostly non-exclusive and some take a small commission when the work sells.Some want a monthly fee. Either way it represents a no risk opportunity to show your art to the world. Also you can get a link back to your site. Many potential buyers do not know your name therefore you will not reach the world by just using your name as suggested above.

You can have a sales gallery & online portfolio to showcase your registered art works for about $9.99 annually plus the cost of the tags…
I mention this now because issues of provenance & ownership have come up where a landlord is distraining a gallery & was attempting to seize 4 of my paintings…Not only has Fine Art Registry been instrumental in proving my ownership as consignor, but real people have been intervening on my behalf directly! From Phoenix Arizona to Toronto Ontario!
The more artists support Fine Art Registry the more we can protect ourselves from unlawful seizures & other whatnots…When the inventor of the security tags told the lawyer that since I had listed the paintings as stolen on the site, they would not have title at re-sale, we achieved somewhat of a deal…
Still being worked out, so I cannot say more yet…

Another effective boot-strap strategy for artists with a street art style is sticker bombing, as evidenced by artists like Green Doze and Shepherd Fairey.
