Marketing yourself as an artist...

I came across this wonderful website about marketing yourself as an artist and there is a lot of information and inspiration that can apply to working as an art therapist....

I was especially inspired by this article...

An Invitation to Participate in a Global Interactive Art Event

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta0n8pMHz_U


The International Art Therapy Organization [www.internationalarttherapy.org] and the Art Therapy Alliance [www.arttherapyalliance.org] are sponsoring a global interactive event called "Art. Peace. Sustainability." Everyone is invited to submit postcard-sized format [5 x 8 inch] works reflecting these concepts for this event. You also can make “response art” inspired by the following questions:
Does art therapy impact peace and sustainability on the planet?
How do art, peace, and sustainability intersect?
Does the creative process of art making resolve conflicts?
Does art therapy build and sustain community?
Is art therapy a "green" practice?


You can create as many artworks as you want to and participate in two ways:
1) create your image in the space below, make an electronic scan or digital photo, and email to gallery@internationalarttherapy.org or 2) create your work on Polyvore.com at http://www.polyvore.com/art_peace_sustainability_an_interactive/group.show?id=72471 and submit to the Art Peace Sustainability Event web gallery. Have fun!

Need inspiration? Then watch this short film on YouTube. Think. Respond. Create.

Meet and Greet and Make Art Together! Meet others from the IATO and Art Therapy Alliance communities at the 2009 AATA Conference Open Studio on Friday, November 20th, from 11:45 am to 1:00 pm.
