>How do I promote my exhibitions, events and artists using ArtSlant?

ArtSlant provides lots of ways for galleries and artists to increase their worldwide exposure and visibility.  Because of our global reach, and the large amount of art enthusiasts who visit us daily for the latest on the art scene, we are a great place to publicize your events and artists.

Here are some of the Features you should consider in promoting an exhibition or artist:

- Our Calendar of Art Events. With our comprehensive gallery listings and exhibition calendar, ArtSlant is a great resource for art-lovers to plan a gallery tour, find out about openings and events, and see who's showing where. Make sure all your exhibits are listed with images and PR for top visibility.

- Write a Review. Have a writer review your exhibit and enter it into ArtSlant. Just link to the Write a Review feature from the Actions box on the right side of your exhibition page.  All reviews appear under our Calendar in Picks & Reviews, as well as post on our Community page.

- Announcements - Click on Community on our Main Menu, then click on Jobs. You can enter Announcements of special events, performances, opening galas, or even artist news.  It is easy and city specific.

SCREEN SHOT - VENUE DISPLAY

It's simple and free to promote your exhibits and gallery events on ArtSlant with these hints:

>ENHANCE YOUR VENUE PROFILE

A professional looking Venue Display will attract more viewers.  Make sure your information is complete and up-to-date.

• Be sure your name, address and neighborhood are entered correctly. Venues without addresses will be eliminated.
• For every artist you type in the Artist field, you will automatically create a Profile for them showing you as the representing gallery. Claim these Profiles and add their slideshow and bio.
• Your first slideshow image will double as your thumbnail image in our venue listings.  Venues with images in their slideshow get much more exposure!
• Put directions and parking info in your text box.

>ADD YOUR CURRENT AND UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS

Make sure your exhibits and events are added as far ahead as possible so they will appear on our calendar listings. Ensure that your exhibitions include as many details and images as possible.  You can always edit the exhibition and add more information later. Include details about the opening for best exposure--even if it is a private view (you can indicate this in the description box).

To Add Content in ArtSlant, you must be a registered member.
