After a lot of faffing about and a steep learning curve(hey, who said we were good at everything)? Artists in Business has launched our Newsletter.
What's in it then? Well, we're glad you asked. There will be articles about arts business (naturally), features on different artists, updates and useful links AND if you sign up before December 1 2009 you will be entered into a free draw.

What's the prize? A selection of fused glass christmas decorations courtesy of Glassprimitif will be sent out to one lucky winner.

What's the catch? There is none. We will not send you spam or sell your details onto a third party. You can unsubscribe at any time (but we hope you won't.

How do I sign up? Just type your email address into the box on the right hand side of the blog and wait for the confirmation email. We will send you regular emails (but not too regular - we don't want to be a pest)!

If you submit your work to a commercial gallery then some time in your life you will need to sign an agreement.
If you don't have an agreement or contract how do you know if the arrangement is fair? That your work is protected? That the gallery will make every effort to sell your work? This week Artists in Business discusses the artist's/craftsperson's contract and what you should expect it to contain.
Check out our new post on 5 October "A Pound of Flesh - Gallery percentages"

How do you start to write an Artist's Statement? What should it include? What shouldn't it include? The artist’s statement is subjective and AIB can give you OUR perspective on the subject and help you to write a compelling and interesting statement.
We have examples and exercises to help you draft the perfect statement that will both describe your artistic processes and show case your work.

Visit Artists in business, a blog written FOR artists ABOUT business.

"In the Studio" is a regular feature showing artists' studios. Whether you work in a purpose-built studio, a shed, an attic or at the kitchen table, we are interested in seeing where you create your art. If you would like to be featured "In the Studio" contact Artists in Business via the email link at the bottom of the page and prepare a short write up and four jpegs too.

If you are an artist, would you want advice about your framing? Choosing the right frame is quite difficult as much of it is down to personal taste but I sometimes wonder whether artists put enough thought into their choice of framing. What do you think? Artists in Business

Making a zine is a fun way to create a marketing tool to promote your art. You can create a stunning zine with collage, doodling and photographs.
