Media coverage is an essential part of cultivating new audiences. It also helps to show galleries that your work has both an interested audience and an artist who is prepared to participate in telling its story.
But the needs of newspaper and magazine assignment editors and reporters are not identical to those of artists interested in the free publicity that media coverage provides. Artzaad has extensive experience with newspaper and magazine journalism from both inside and outside perspectives. We can help you develop promotional materials that journalists will actually read, offer stories they will want to tell, and forge relationships they will want to cultivate.
Basic Media Promotional Package | $550
After an hour-long review of submitted materials and an hour-long phone consultation, we will schedule and develop three press releases for your next year of work. We'll also conduct an in-depth artist interview that we'll transform into a 750-word feature that you can use to complement your press releases, add to your website, or distribute to your mailing list. We'll also develop custom letterhead, a business card and your next show postcard. Optional printing services not included.
Promotional Booster | $65 each or 3 for $150
Consultation, planning and writing/design of show postcards or single-page press releases designed to get the attention of newspaper and magazine editors. Optional printing services not included.
For prices for individual promotional items, see our general services section.
Presenting images of your work for review in a professional, high-quality and hassle-free format makes it clear to gallery owners and jurors that the same can be expected of you in your dealings with them and your presentation of the work itself. More and more gallery and show opportunities are now accepting or even requiring work to be presented on CD, and Artzaad is prepared to help you make the impression your work deserves.
