The Transmedia Artist Guide to Making Artist Submissions

The purpose of this ebook is to assist artists in initiating their own DIY marketing and promotioncampaigns. I developed this ebook for artists not yet ready to use paid services or hire agents.The materials in this ebook are based on hundreds of submissions I have made on behalf ofvisual artists. I know that each artist has many considerations when making art submissions, andthat each artist has their own unique needs and goals.

Most beginner and emerging artists know that they need to make more effort, yet are uncertainhow to begin, where to start, or how much effort to make to move their careers forward. Mostartists have heard plenty of conflicting advice and perhaps even fear selling out, without

knowing what that really means. Successful artists sell their work to fund their art studiopractice. Making sales is selling, not selling out. Obtaining various types of contracts is anotherway to sell art images and create income streams to fund an art studio practice.

Artists may use the information in Section One of this ebook as a guide to get their presentationmaterials in order. With properly labeled image files and an appropriate cover letter, an artist isready to begin to address their fears and questions as they work on making submissions to findmarkets for their art.

To reach new markets, an artist must make new contacts and let others know that they are apracticing artist with available artwork. An artist must make others aware of their desire to takethe next step up in their art career, by contacting those who are in positions to assist them, inorder to find where their art will show and sell. In most cases, the best way to begin that process

is for an artist to submit jpeg image files attached to an e-mail, and to submit their art on a CD orDVD with a cover letter. Artists may use the cover letters provided in Sections 2-9 in this ebook,and adapt the letters to make submissions and test out a variety of markets.

The sample letters in this ebook are based on actual letters I have written and used to obtainlucrative art licensing contracts, solo exhibitions, and gallery representation for my artist-clients.Other letters in this ebook I wrote to connect artists with museum curators and to gainrepresentation with top artist agencies and art consultants for corporate art and hospitalityindustry consultants (hospitality industry = hotels, spas, resorts, and restaurants), art sales, andGicle print sales internationally.

Note: The names of artists, companies and other identifiers have been removed from the lettersand specific details altered for reasons of confidentiality.

Artists with an interest in personalized assistance, or a custom contact list of art industryprofessionals, may contact Transmedia Artist Marketing at: [email protected] Marie Kazalia at: [email protected]

Also included in this ebook are sample art licensing contracts, Gicle print contracts andsubmission guidelines, CD submission guidelines, image labeling requirements from top artorganizations and professionals in their industry.

Section one: Prepare to Submit

Make it Easy on Everyone. Label Your Images: Name_Title.jpeg

Art professionals may receive hundreds of jpeg image files by email each day. If the image filesyou send are consistently labeled with your name on each image, then your images will appeartogether (alphabetically) in the art professionals download file folder. If you, and dozens ofother artists, submit jpeg files labeled with long number and letter strings, there is no unique

identifier (such as your name) on the image files, as the files intermix in the download folder.

Examples from hundreds of numbered image files that I have received from artists:IMG_7821_edited-2.jpeg, Image002rendered.jpeg, IMG_0008_JPG.jpg, IMG_0010_JPEG.jpg,IMG_0012_JPG.jpg, IMG_0042_JPG.jpg, IMG_0044_JPG.jpg, IMG_0051_JPG.jpg, 059.jpg ,IMG_4212.jpg, IMG_0130_JPGcopy.jpg, IMG_0999_CR2.jpg, IMG_2776_2.jpg, new.jpg,new2.jpg, new6.jpg, IMG_4208.jpg, IMG_5573.jpg, IMG_5568.jpg, P1010003.jpg,480_338_csupload_1687920.jpeg, 20100120_5812XS.jpeg, P1010004.jpg, P1010008.jpg,E_5241.jpg.crdownload, P1010203.JPG, 6.jpg, 7.jpg, 8.jpg, Art1.005.jpg, Art1.006.jpg,Art1.008.jpg.

n797359465_2010900_8638.jpg, l_a35f878467ebe8bbcdf63818bb7107(2).jpg, etc.

Submitting images labeled as above, and expecting a busy professional to take the time to locateyour submission list in an e-mail, go back and forth between programs and files to match uptitles with long number sequences jpegs, is expecting too much. Busy art professionals are likelyto delete your submission and you may never know why you have not received a response.

DO NOT submit numbered jpegs.

Open your jpeg art image file in Photoshop and save it with your name and the title of the workas the file name. For example: BillyArtist_Abstract1.jpeg. Open the next jpeg and save as,

BillyArtist_BlueAbstract.jpeg, etc. Label each jpeg image with your name and title of artwork. Ifa jpeg is a detail shot, side, or back view of an artwork, such as is often the case with three-dimensional sculpture, then label the jpeg accordingly: RSmith_Eternity(view1).jpg,RSmith_Eternity(detail).jpg, RSmith_Eternity(View2).jpg


7/79

Tip: For artists who do not have access to the Adobe Photoshop program ($700), they maydownload a 30-day free trial. The lesser version of Photoshop is Photoshop Elements, priced atabout $100. I have not used free photo-editing software, such as: Picasa, Photoscape, GIMP, orPaint.net.-----------------------

Tip: Another standard way to make submissions of images is with a unique image URL, for eachimage. On your website, go to a full image of an artwork. The URL that you see in the topaddress bar will contain your web site link, plus an additional identifier, such as a title ornumber. That is the unique URL for that image. When copied and pasted into an e-mail, thensent, the recipient who clicks on the link will be taken directly to the image, without clicking thruthe site.

If a unique image URL is extremely long, shorten it. Google the term *shorten URL* to findseveral options, such as Tiny URL and bit.ly. Copy and paste the long link into one and it willgenerate a short URL. If you sign-up for an account at bit.ly, you will be able to customize theshortened link with your name and the title of the artwork.

-----------------------

Image lists: Do Not Submit lists like these:

Above are examples of two lists I have received from artists by e-mail, along with attached jpegimage files. Both lists expect the recipient to play a matching game or ignore and trash thesubmission. Lists like these send the message, beginner, unprofessional, or even, lacking inself-confidence, inconsiderate, or unconcerned. Image files labeled with your name and title of theartwork send the message that you are proud of your work and that you are confident as an artist.

When you submit jpeg image files, be sure to include a list of relevant details

Send image lists that correspond to the labeled attached jpeg image files. By that I mean, attachthe jpegs in the same order as listed in the image detail list included in your e-mail.

In the details for each attached image, list your dimensions in whole numbers.Image details that contain fractions are seldom necessary for submissions:Not 24 3/8 x 30 1/2 ,not 24.5 x 30.7, but 24 x 30. If you list in centimeters, round off.


9/79

Note: Submissions to a museum curator will not require the price points, a submission to agallery should include retail prices, while a submission to an art consultant should include netprices (more details on price lists in Section 2 and 3).

Note: Avoid using symbols that may not transfer well in e-mail, such as: & $ "

Resumes, CVs, Artist Statement Files

I have received dozens of files labeled: resume.doc, CV.doc, artiststatement.doc, vitae.pdf,artistCV.pdf, pricelist.doc, resume2011.doc, realism.zip.

Opening the files does not always help identify the sender. I have a file in my download folderthat is labeled statement.doc. The file contains a rather nervous admission to art making, but noartist name or contact information.

If you are submitting your resume, CV, or artist statement as a file attachment, label your filewith your name: JamesSmithResume.doc, JamesSmith_CV.doc, JamesSmithPricelist.doc,MaryJonesCV.doc, MaryJones_ArtistStatement.pdf, MaryJonesRealismPortfolio.zipBe sure to include your name on the document. Add your name to your resume, and include yourcontact information, such as mailing address, e-mail address, website link, and phone number.Add your contact information to your CV and artist statement files.

Do not make the mistake of adding this to a mental "to do" list, only to let weeks or even monthsslip by without taking action. Open your CV file and save it with your name as the file name.Send only that file with submissions.

With one hour of effort, you should be able to properly label enough of your jpeg image files tobegin making submissions.


11/79

Now that you have your image files and document files properly and professionally labeled, youare ready.

Size matters. A file at a resolution of 72 dpi is easy to send and easy for the recipient to

download and open for viewing. Select the images that you wish to submit, and open them in thePhotoshop program. Select *Image* from the top menu and *Image Size* in the drop downmenu. If the resolution is 72, then your file is ready to submit. If higher than 72 (150, 200, 300etc.), then delete that number and type in 72. When you save the file, be sure to indicate that theimage is (lowrez) or (small) by adding that to the file name: BillyArtist_Abstract1(lowrez).jpeg.

Low resolution files are a must for first contact submissions, in most cases. If requested, sendlarger/higher resolution jpeg image files, but only if requested, or if the submission guidelinesspecify high resolution images. Generally, higher resolution images are acceptable and expectedon CD submissions.

Begin a New Submission CampaignConsistency will yield the best results. Artists who are sporadic with their submissions, or worryabout bothering people, make a bad start. Another mistake many artists make is to send outsubmissions only when they feel like it.

For the best effort, artists should select a set number of submissions to send out each week, andstick to that goal. I recommend making 8 to 10 researched and well-crafted submissions eachweek. To schedule your time, expect to spend one half hour per submission or 4-5 hours perweek.

To keep up the pace, artists need to research their market for opportunities and obtain addressesand contact names.

It may be best to begin by talking with other artists in all media. A photographer may know artposter companies to submit to. A photographer's list of art poster companies will work well for apainter on canvas, of watercolor on paper, or a digital or traditional printmaker.

If you have already done significant research, than offer to exchange lists with another artistdoing the same type of research and submissions.

Other considerations to strategize your submission campaign:By region--select target cities, states, regions, or countries. Perhaps starting with the city youlive in or all the large cities in your geographic region is the best way to start.

Medium and subject matter--these are the two largest considerations when determining whereto submit to.


12/79

Combine similar markets--for instance, submit to corporate art consultants, financial artconsultants, health care industry art consultants, and interior designers, with similar approaches.Likewise with product image licensing, fine art poster licensing, and book jacket art publishers.Gallery curators and museum curators may have much in common, and you might combine yourefforts and submit to both in your campaign. Note: There are many companies who offer

multiple services. For instance, there are art consultants who own and operate art galleries.Some commercial art galleries take on art consulting projects and clients. There are art corporateconsultants who create their own Gicle print editions and print lines. There are corporate artconsultants who do residential interior design, or offer custom photography print services.

Escalate online submissions into in-person meetings.Make it your goal to meet and talk to two new people each week, who can help your art career.

For instance, every Tuesday and every Thursday of each week, have appointments to speak tosomeone about your art (52 weeks in a year, X 2 per week = 104 people you have met andspoken to about your work in one year). For example, after you contact a local museum curatorand submit a CD, you may wish to then phone and set up a meeting to show your portfolio inperson.

Note: The most common mistake artists make when contacting a curator is failing to state clearlywhat it is they are seeking. Be honest about what you want. Do not assume the curator will knowwhat you want and make you an offer. They won't. Tell the curator you wish to be included in agroup exhibit, that you have an exhibit proposal of your own, or wish to have your work in thepermanent collection of the museum.

Note: If gathering all the resources, making weekly submissions and setting up appointmentssounds like a long drawn-out process, it can be. Yet for one artist, I obtained a lucrative artlicensing contract that now funds her art studio practice and changed her life, during the first twoweeks of a submission campaign. That is, after 20 submissions had been made at ten per week,she had a lucrative contract. If the artist had only made two submissions per week over fivemonths, then the results would have taken much longer, if the opportunity had come at all.Another artist with similar work may have submitted and taken the opportunity.

Section two: Art Consultants

Making Submissions for Corporate, Hospitality, Health Care and Other Industries

First Submission:Billy Artist thinks that his artwork may be right for corporate art collections. He did someresearch and exchanged a mailing list with an artist friend. An art consultant on his new listlooked promising, so Billy decided he would like to submit his art images via email.

He telephoned the company first, to find out as much information as he could (phoning is notalways possible). Billy also knew that this was an important e-mail, so he proofread a few timesthen sent the email to himself as a test. By emailing the submission to himself at another of his e-mail accounts (if you only have one e-mail account, open a free G-mail or AOL email accountfor receiving test email), he was able to assure its safe delivery. Billy clicked on his website linkin the test email to make sure the link to his web site was working properly. He also wanted totest how the images downloaded.

Here is his submission sent via email:

The reply Billy Artist received :

Dear Billy Artist,

We look forward to working with you.

Thank you.SallyProfessional Corporate Art ConsultantNew York, NY

Note: After the artwork was accepted, the artist was asked to label his jpeg images with evenmore information, including dimension and net price. This labeling will save the art consultanthours of searching corresponding lists. An art consultant may work on a large project to fill anentire floor of an office building, or even an entire new building, with art. New hospitals need artthroughout to create a calm and healing atmosphere. An artist needs to be color conscious aswell, and not submit red paintings to an art consultant specializing in the health care industry.

Likewise, the hospitality industry generally seeks earth tones and soothing colors considered tobe in "good taste." Also, a consultant will often work with architectural blueprints of the space


16/79

they are filling with art. Perhaps the consultant requires ten abstract paintings that are 40 x 60inches for a large reception area. Having the labeling on your images contain dimensions savesmany hours of searching for appropriate artwork in that size.

So congratulations to Billy Artist, who is now one step closer to his goal of getting his work into

a corporate art collection. Now he must follow through. Now he has to prepare and submit theCD and cover letter. Billy Artist wanted to make a nice presentation so he purchased an externalCD burner with a Lightscribe system that gave him the capability of burning one of his images,his logo, and his website link onto the disk to label it, rather than use a less-attractive stickylabel.

What is corporate-appropriate artwork?

Corporate-appropriate subject matter:It will be best for Billy Artist to send images of landscapes, cityscapes, seascapes, still lifes,florals, and abstract artwork.

Do not send nudes, portraits, or images of animals.There are exceptions. Do your research andknow why you are sending images of bicyclists, and figure studies in bronze, before you submitsuch images.

Generally, corporate art consultants are looking for large scale abstract works that they can place(sell) in the permanent collection of their corporate clients. Corporations often want art for theirlarge corporate offices to enhance their image and improve the atmosphere of the space. Suchcorporate clients may also commission large artworks for specific settings, such as buildinglobbies or outdoor locations. They may want both original one-of-a-kind art such as paintings


17/79

and sculpture, as well as print multiples such as serigraphs and Gicle for hallways, (and in someinstances even fine art posters) for employee lunch rooms or lounge areas, in sizes 20 x 30 andlarger. (It is difficult to place smaller pieces in corporate settings.)

RFQ

If a consultant cannot find the right work for the space, they may consider commissioning anartist to create work specific to the project and dimensions required, and often such large projectsrequire an RFQ (RFQ = Request For Qualifications) as part of their submission requirements.

For an RFQ, an Artist may need to supply letters of recommendation from interior designers,engineers, architects, or collectors who have commissioned artwork. The letters should includeinformation on the artist's ability to meet deadlines, past experience working on a team,collaborating, or providing solutions for public art. Or the letter should contain a

recommendation from one or more art professionals on the quality of the artist's work.

Daphne did not hesitate. She made the phone call right away. Mike E. offered Daphne a solo exhibition,

which she accepted, and they set the dates.

TIP: In the subject line of your email write in the question: *Are you looking at new work? * This willhelp insure that the gallerist will quickly open and read your email. It shows that you are an art world-savvy artist knowledgeable enough to ask this question, and that you understand that gallerist are notalways looking for new work.
mailto:[email protected]:[email protected]://www.meartconsulting.com/http://www.meartconsulting.com/mailto:[email protected]


19/79

TIP: Introduce another artist to a gallery and have them introduce you --this is cross-promotion.

TIP: Most Art Galleries receive numerous submissions from artists expecting the gallerists to take time tovisit and navigate their websites. Most busy gallerists are not going to take the time. Offer them shortcutswith direct UNIQUE URLS to images, so that they are more likely to click on your links to view yourwork. A UNIQUE URL is one specifically for an image on your site. Open an image of an artwork to full

size on your personal website. Note the page address will be your home page URL plus the name of theimage or numbers. That is the UNIQUE URL for that image. Now copy and paste it into an emailsubmission. When the recipient receives the email with the UNIQUE URL link accompanied with theimage description and details (examples in letter below), they are far more likely to click on the link andview your work.

How to Contact and Connect With Curators

For decades, artists dropped by museums with no appointment, portfolios in hand, and asked to see aparticular curator. The attitude may have been casual, but the artist had researched and planned, had thecurator's name, and knew the best day and time to find the curator in his or her office. Especially in cityfunded museums, where curators are likely to consider themselves *civil servants,* more often than not

the curator would take some time to review the artist's portfolio during such impromptu visits. The curatormay have even purchased artwork for the permanent collections during such unscheduled portfolioreviews. Perhaps far too many artists have attempted this, for now, many museums only review art viamailed in disc submissions.

The Brooklyn Museumaccepts CDs and DVDs from artists worldwide. If you would like to submit yourartwork for review, submit you disc following the museum guidelines:

All submissions should include: cover letter biography and/or rsum artist statement (up to two typed pages) articles related to work (up to three reviews/press clippings) representation of work in either CD or DVD format (no more than 10 labeled representative

images)Please do not send PowerPoint presentations.

Web sites will not be visited. Do not send original artwork.

Please be advised that no materials will be returned.Due to the large volume of submissions, we often cannot respond individually. The Museums aim is topresent the most meaningful programs to our audience, and opportunities for inclusion in our exhibitionsare extremely limited.All materials should be mailed in one packet to:Contemporary ArtAttn: Artist ReviewBrooklyn Museum200 Eastern ParkwayBrooklyn, NY 11238-6052------------------
