Free Broadcast | Grow Your Art Business with Effective Planning and Strategizing

Tuesday, November 12, 2013 5:00 p.m. Mountain

168 Is All You - or Anyone Else - Get.

168 is the number of hours in a week that each of has to make things happen. What you do in those hours makes is your key to success in every aspect of your life. Learning effective ways to allocate time with your family, tapping your spirituality, eating, sleeping, exercising, relaxing, and, of course, making art and getting it sold, puts you on the path to enjoying more success with less stress.

Highly effective people do serious planning. They strategize to find ways to break big goals into small easily executable tasks. By steadily completing small tasks, they achieve big things. The best use a variety of tools and techniques suited to them and the goals they have set, including:

Forecasting
Time management
Project management

and more to make the most of their time.

Join art marketing and art business experts Barney Davey (artprintissues.com) and Jason Horejs (xanadugallery.com) as they discuss how planning and strategizing will help you accomplish more in your 168 hours.

"Starving" to Successful Story | Gallery Representation Experience

by Xanadu Gallery Owner Jason Horejs

Since writing "Starving" to Successful in 2009, I've received hundreds of emails from artists who have read the book, and then applied what they've learned to strengthen their art businesses and obtain gallery representation. From time to time, I try and share some of those experiences on reddotblog. It's gratifying to know that my work is helping artists fulfill their dreams and move toward making a living with their art. I also hope it's inspiring for those of you who have read the book or taken my workshop, but haven't yet put everything into practice.

Several weeks ago I received this email:

Jason,

I just wanted to let you know my progress with visiting Galleries. After reading your book I was planning on approaching galleries in Idaho Falls, Boise and then on the Jackson Hole because I live fairly close by. Before I was able to get my materials ready we decided to plan a trip to California to visit my wife's grandma near Sacramento, and my Sister living near Carmel. Knowing that it could be a while before I was back in the area I decided to make it into a business trip and talk to galleries in Sacramento and Carmel, even though I knew Carmel probably wasn't the easiest place to start

The Challenges of

Framing Art

by Xanadu Gallery Owner Jason Horejs

All I have to do is say the word "frame", and I see artists get a dejected, depressed look in their eyes. Framing has long been the bane of painters, photographers, pastelists, pencil artists and all others who work in two-dimensions. Framing art is time-consuming and expensive, and just when you think you've found the right frame, your clients let you know otherwise.

Framing costs impact your bottom line and change the way you price your work. Finding a good framer in your area can prove an exhausting challenge.

Is it any wonder that many artists are moving away from framing?

With all of those hurtles, is it any wonder that many artists are moving away from framing?
