In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Some galleries and publications only accept email submissions. Make sure you include links to your online portfolio or high quality images of your work in your email. If you are mailing in your submission, include a copy of your physical portfolio, your resume, your artist statement, and your artist proposal (if necessary) together in a padded envelope. Make sure you address your submission to the contact person listed on the call for submissions. Look at the artists who are already represented at the gallery and contact them. Ask them if they'd be willing to refer you to help boost your submission. Often, gallery owners pay more attention to art submissions that have been referred or recommended by artists they already know. If you are applying for submission to an art festival or magazine, you can contact artists who have already appeared in the festival or magazine. Politely ask for a referral or advice on how to get your submission looked at. Give the reviewers time to look at your submission. Do not email or message them until two weeks after you have submitted, as you do not want to come across as pushy. Send a friendly follow up email that notes the date you sent in your submission. Ask for an update on the status of your submission. Most reviewers will do their best to respond to your follow up email and let you know the status of your submission. If your submission does not get accepted this time around, do not be discouraged. Use your application for other calls for submissions. Be persistent and eventually, you should be able to find the right place for your art submission.
Summary: Email or mail in your submission. Try to get referrals from other artists to boost your submission. Wait two weeks to follow up. Continue to submit your artwork.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Pleated skirts can be worn with a variety of footwear. Choose your shoes based on the occasion. Heels are often worn with pleated skirts. This is great for formal occasions or fun nights out to give your skirt a classy vintage feel. Sneakers can easily be paired with a t-shirt and pleated skirt for a casual look. For something in-between casual and formal, grab a pair of flats and pair it with your pleated skirt. If you're feeling a little chilly, or just want an extra layer of color, wear a cardigan with your pleated skirt. A cardigan can be slipped over a lighter top, or a sleeveless one, to add some warmth and layers to your outfit. Coordinate your cardigan with the skirt's color. For example, say you're wearing a pink plaid pleated skirt with a white top. Wear a pink cardigan to highlight the skirt's color. Pleated skirts worn with more casual tops can be paired with big, bold necklaces. If you're wearing a solid-colored and plainer top with a pleated skirt, add some extra flare with bold necklace choices like pendant necklaces or long, dangly chains. Make sure to account for the skirt. Do not choose a color that clashes with the skirt's color. Pleated skirts are great to highlight your figure. If you want to highlight your figure further, go for a belt that can be worn around your waist. This can create a very slimming effect when worn with a pleated skirt. Belts work great if you're wearing a top with a looser fabric, as it will help pull the fabric slightly closer to your body. A blazer is a bit more formal than a cardigan, but can also add some extra layers and colors to your outfit. A blazer thrown over the top you're wearing with a pleated skirt can be a great look for the office. For example, wear a blue blazer over a cream colored top while wearing a blue paisley pleated skirt.
Summary: Pair the skirt with the right footwear. Wear a cardigan. Add a bold necklace. Cinch your waist with a belt. Add a blazer.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Check with your state/regional college or university's cooperative extension to see if they have a class offered. Many smaller colleges, such as community colleges, offer beekeeping classes as part of the community education programs. Additionally, many beekeeping organizations offer introductory classes for those wanting to become beekeepers. Do an online search for beekeeping classes in your area. Schools that specialize in agriculture are most likely to host such a course. The class may cost you a couple hundred dollars, but the experience will teach you the many things you'll need to know about bee keeping. Numerous books and websites offer advice and instruction about beekeeping. However, make sure the author is well-versed and knowledgeable about the topic by reading their biography and researching them on the internet. Books on beekeeping can offer great help for the beginner. If you are taking a class on beekeeping or have taken one in the past, ask your instructor for some further reading suggestions. If that person is really knowledgeable about beekeeping, they will likely know the best books to read on the subject. You can also speak to the reference librarian at the library for recommendations. It is always a good idea to talk to someone who is already beekeeping about their process and tips for caring for bees. This is especially true if you are considering becoming a professional beekeeper. An active beekeeper can typically answer any questions you have and can give you some practical advice for starting up your own hive. In exchange for information and advice, consider offering to help a beekeeper with their beekeeping for free. Getting some hands-on experience with beekeeping before you get your own hive can be very helpful and the beekeeper will likely appreciate the free labor you are providing. You can be a beekeeper who has one hive or you can be a beekeeper that tends to many, many hives. The amount of bee hives you set up and care for will depend on what you want to get out of your efforts and how dedicated to bee keeping you are. That said, in most cases if you are just starting out with beekeeping, you should start small. Figure out how to tend to your bees before investing a lot of time and effort in numerous hives. If you simply want to get some honey for your family and help pollinate your garden, then 1 or 2 hives may be enough. If you want to produce enough honey to sell, then you will need many more hives to get enough honey. In general, a well-established hive can produce about 25 pounds (11kg) of honey.
Summary:
Take a beekeeping course. Read up on beekeeping. Learn from a beekeeper. Start out with just a few hives.
