Free `Selling Art On the Internet' E-Zine Offered

Art Business News, June, 2001

BENICIA, Calif.--Marquis Publications is offering complimentary subscriptions of the monthly e-magazine "Selling Art On The Internet" to visual artists, galleries, art organizations and members of the media.

The focus of the e-zine addresses relevant art industry topics including Web site design, generating Web site traffic, cultivating media exposure, "pay for clicks" and more.

The editor and publisher is California figurative artist Marques Vickers.

"The whole process of Internet exposure and direct sales for visual artists has lagged behind other retail segments," said Vickers.

"Substantial opportunities exist for Internet-savvy artists and galleries. However, for most segments of the artistic community, the process of establishing an initial presence in cyberspace is confounding, as there exist few proven guidelines for navigation. The Internet will permanently and ultimately alter the channels in which visual art is distributed and sold, but the restructuring process will be transitional and not immediate. But opportunity has never been more prolific for entrepreneurial artists."

To request a complimentary subscription to the e-magazine "Selling Art On The Internet," send an e-mail to marques@neteze.com with the word "subscribe" typed in the subject line.
