Shared Visions Unlimited has been presenting artists on the Internet for a few years. This article is based on our experience and is intended for artists thinking about promoting themselves and their work on the Internet. A web browser is a perfect place to present visual artists. You can combine high quality photos, text, and multimedia elements to create stunning presentations. Anyone in the world with access to the Internet can see the online presentation.
Online commerce can make it easy for someone to purchase an item.
Relative to standard print media, the Internet provides very inexpensive advertising and presentation space. Some sites will allow you to upload photos and descriptions to their site for free or for a small monthly charge. The web site can be a very good tool for the artist in their daily contacts with prospective collectors. A simple business card with the web address in it can give the person the opportunity to view selections of the artists work at a convenient time. Potential dealers can view the works online, which can avoid much time and expense in sending materials to galleries, publishers, etc.
