Paquet to Do Opening Presentation


Artist Joe Paquet Will Open the Plein Air Convention with a Special Prensentation:

Authenticity & Creativity : The Quest for a Singular Vision

According to Paquet: "We all deal this in our lives – this struggle for individuality.
It is my hope that this discussion will aid in both understanding how fear, ego and
external vs internal motivation affect our choices and what can be done as individuals
to move ever closer to an authentic vision."

The talk will be followed by a Q & A

Rhoads to Present Art Marketing Bootcamp II


Following a packed-house for early morning sessions last year for publisher Eric Rhoads' Art Marketing Bootcamp, which was the basis for his popular video series, Rhoads will return for more marketing sessions. Early risers (6:30 am) will be treated to the next level of art marketing training. Rhoads recommends artists attending view the video to be reminded of concepts from last year's sessions since he will not be repeating that material. (Note: Rhoads recorded additional material for the DVD which was not presented at last year's convention.)

Art Marketing Boot Camp II:

Day 1: How To Get Invited into Art Galleries

This session deals 100% with the question about how to approach galleries, how to get noticed, and how to get them to invite you in. It will also address issues you'll need to know once you're invited in. Rhoads will have special guest gallery owners to offer their perspective.

Day 2 and Day 3: Selling Art Through the Internet and Social Media

Rhoads will address the pros and cons of marketing on your website, using blogs, how to use and not use social media, mistakes commonly made, how to drive traffic, how to win in Google search, and more. Rhoads has invited special guests to offer tips and techniques as part of these sessions.

To attend Art Marketing Boot Camp II you need to be a registered attendee. There is no additional charge.
