The Business of Art with Nannette Clapman Blinchikoff

Attention Artists: If you want to learn how-to promote yourself and how-to market your art in today’s arena, this is the lecture for you! Nannette is a sculptor and author of Promoting Art with Integrity. She uses her Five Steps of Promotion to offer perspectives from both the artist and gallery point of view; and provide countless ideas, practical exercises, and ways to adapt mainstream sales techniques to help the artist become more professional.

Nannette Clapman Blinchikoff finds her self-worth through her art. She has created it, taught it, critiqued it, lectured on it, and wrote books about promoting it. This part of her identity is both invigorating and fulfilling.

Her sculpture can be found in public and private art collections and has been seen in numerous local, national, and international exhibitions, since 1972. She began researching promotional options for artists in 1983. Her business-of-artbooks, lectures, workshops, and private-tutoring sessions are useful tools for artists interested in marketing their art. After earning her Bachelor of Science (1975) and Master of Education (1984) degreesfrom Towson University, she used her master thesis as the basis of her Promoting FineArt books.

Promoting Art with Integrity, Nannette's most recent book, offers perspectives from

both the artist and gallery point of view, while providing countless ideas, practical

exercises, and unique methods to adapt mainstream sales techniques to help artists

become more professional.
