Why should I pay to appear in a book?
The concept of our publications is different from most. The books are either sold at cost or given for free to selected recipients, so nobody makes money from sales. We try to achieve the largest possible distribution to a professional audience of galleries, museums, art consultants, interior designers, agencies, collectors, etc. Besides being a beautiful coffee-table artbook, our publications are a promotional tool aiming at advertising the artists in it. This is the reason there is a participation fee.
Why should I appear in these particular books? What are the benefits?
- It is a prestigious and professional way to present your work to galleries, collectors, selection committees, juries and potential buyers.
- Being included in a high-quality publication not only presents your work but places you within the context of active contemporary artists.
- It increases the commercial value of your work.
- It provides gallery owners with an effective tool to more easily sell your work and at a better price.
If you really like my art, you must accept me for free!
No artists are accepted for free. No matter how good or famous they are! The book is published for the benefit of the artists. It offers them a valuable tool to promote themselves. However, we do welcome sponsored artists. Many of the participants in our books are sponsored by public organizations, universities, banks, private companies, etc. We offer a special presentation for these sponsors in the front part of the book so as to encourage sponsors. Approved artists who are interested in finding a sponsor can ask us for the sponsorship presentation with helpful information for potential patrons.
How can I find a sponsor?
Contact any companies you might know. Small companies are much easier to approach when it is for a small amount of money.
They can be small stores, wineries, real estate agents, etc. Generally, it is easier to get a sponsorship from companies where you have personal contacts or friends or – much better – where you are a client or customer! Or it could be a company or person you have done work for – or even your employer! Or they could be a supplier of yours. When you have managed to set up an appointment to discuss the sponsorship, it is helpful to have the portfolio of your work with you, and also either a sample copy of one of our books or access to a computer where you can show them our website and the links to our books on the site. Potential sponsors need to get a clear idea of exactly what they are paying for – and the benefits for them.
Make it clear that you are not just asking for help! It is an equal exchange. You are asking for something from them and you are offering something important to them!
How is the book going to help me? Am I going to sell works?
The book is not a selling tool. It is a tool to promote the artist. It opens doors to galleries, it is a great selling tool for galleries and it raises the value of your work. It will help you to sell art to your clients and at higher prices. But you are not going to sell art directly from the book. This is not the purpose of the book. People who see you in it are forwarded to your online portfolio and you can sell art this way, but you might never find out that these buyers came from the book. The book is meant to promote the artist. It is a very important addition to your resume. If you use it correctly, you will have great results and it can boost your career. Many galleries, art organizations, art agents, art dealers etc. sponsor their artists to appear in the book.
When is the application deadline?
There is no general deadline for applications because we close each volume when we complete the maximum number of artists we can accept. We do though have deadlines for the payment plans that we offer. You can ask the assistant curator that contacted you about these dates.
Will I see my page before the book is printed?
Yes. Once the book has been produced, our designer will email you proof of your page(s). You will then be able to make adjustments. A proof is sent to the artist in order to review and approve the accuracy of all elements to be published.
Where do you distribute the books?
Our books are distributed for free to selected galleries, interior designers, museums, collectors, curators, and art-lovers worldwide (every year to a different list). We also hand out hundreds of books at international art fairs that we exhibit like Art Expo New York, Red Dot Miami, Spectrum Miami, Art San Diego and other Major Art Fairs
Whenever a new book is released, we do an email campaign to collectors and art professionals with an online link to view the book page by page. Our current email list consists of over 165,000 email addresses of collectors and art professionals all over the world – galleries, agencies, art dealers and consultants, interior designers and architects, curators and museum executives. This list is growing constantly.
At the same time, we advertise the books on Facebook, Linked In and Twitter.
Below is a list of galleries we sent free copies during the last 3 months. We renew this list every 3 months.
