First Art Show- Where to advertise?, by aeioh on Aug 18, 2018 17:26:50 GMT 1, Hi Community,
I am finally taking an opportunity to show some of the paintings I have been making over the last couple of years. I have rented a space in East London and will be sharing this with a fellow artist from the first Thursday of Sept for a few days.
Was wondering if anyone knows some good online or in person forums/galleries/places to advertise to get general awareness out there? Any thoughts would be much appreciated! I know its probably not best to approach galleries directly and ask them to come down ha!
Below is an example of my work and my Instagram is samstudioart
THANKS

Make flyers, maybe paste ups go viral on Youtube and contact some of these art blogs that write about art etc. Think outside the box as the guy with a very expensive PR team says.

I run a gallery called #Hashtag Gallery up in Toronto, and we've found that to be one of the more effective ways to get the word out with promoted posts. Also mailing lists still work, as they're a direct contact with your potential clients, who if they're on your mailing list, want to get the content.

First Art Show- Where to advertise?, by aeioh on Aug 18, 2018 23:35:42 GMT 1, Thanks everyone for the feedback
Noted re more info, ill post some more photos and details on here a bit nearer show day.
Yes, been using flyers in local art shops/cafes, not sure how much attention they get but no harm done.
Does anyone know any names of art blogs I should be contacting? are there any London/uk specific ones that may help? The few that i've been following for years all seem to be USA based...
Noted re mailing list too, I hope to expand that further after this first show as well.
Thanks for everyone's comments so far!
