Self Promotions

One of the projects I took on for Professor Kishita was organizing her emailing list. This is something I have already done for my internship at Wendy's Art & Frame Shop so i'm confortable with the process. She tells me that I should start organizing my own emailing list so I may better promote my senior thesis Show.

She introduced me to another useful online resource called Mail Chimp. It is a website that offers many templates for newsletters.

This website is excellent for self promotion via email and proves useful to any artist or gallery that want their newsletters to be made and sent quickly so as to save time for those other important tasks.

Professor Kishita also showed me other important documents for studio artists. She stresses the importance of keeping detailed invoices of everything an artist may sell, and keeping recepts of every art production expense to document them into spreadsheets so the expenses may be written off as business expenses durring the tax season. She also showed me her cover letters that she sent to different galleries in her pursuit for gallery representation.
