Recently, I met Clara Nartey online after contacting her about an article about her art marketing business that I read about in Studio Art Quilt Associates’ (SAQA) quarterly journal. Having managed and co-owned a gallery for many years, I was impressed by her website and, in a good way, how marketing-focused it is. That’s not a common approach used by many artists. She asked me to contribute a piece on the business of textile art from my perspective as a gallery owner. I also bring to the table my observations from serving as President of Surface Design Association and from my own studio work. I share that knowledge in the first of two blog posts on her website. Lots of pictures, too!
So, enjoy this first post and look for the second on May 3, 2018. There’s even a video!
