Regular Sunday open houses were also an important activity at the studios of successful artists in America, England and France at this time. Both intimate shows like those held at the turn of the century in Giverny and Boston and larger regional shows could be organized today in partnership with any city eager to be the next host of leading artists and their work. Today there are new technologies to aid the artist in his or her promotional endeavors. Videotapes are a way of effectively presenting an artist's work and can be used to record shows for comparison and other purposes. They are a cost-effective way to present an artist or studio, record an artist's works in progress or document the ownership of particular works.
Videos are excellent promotional aids because they command the interest of the viewer.
Don't forget the convenience of fax and computers for long distance communication. Fortunately, these new technologies can enable artists of like minds to organize important exhibitions and catalogue their works. It is up to you, the artist, to make it happen.
