Now that I have the art work photographed – and scanned where necessary, thanks to Dan having an A3 printer hiding at home, we need to think about what needs printing up front, how to set up possibilities of people buying prints, and at what cost. However as it is now so near xmas I am diverting my time to look at the building a website for the project, work out how to incorporate an online shop and an up-to-the-minute display of the bidding when that gets going. All this I need to learn how to do … or delegate to someone if anyone has the skill and wants to help :-)
Yes, getting all the marketing sorted out this side of xmas so that we can easily start rolling it out to all our mailing lists, get you all involved and hopefully participating in some way, is important now. I have a domain name www.cara-a-cara.org.uk but I’m guessing it might be a week or more till it is populated with meaningful info. But please do let me know what you think – I’ve tried to use the colours of the Bolivian flag to brand it. After I’ve got the website sorted I’ll need to get on and sort out mailing lists, invites etc… Mailchimp is another tool I really wish I already knew how to use, I’m hoping one of the other artists have some experience with it :-/
All in all I’m pretty full on with this project right now, but it comes at a price, what with this; the “ALAS Residency” exhibition; the “Seeing In The Dark” exhibition that followed that and trying to pull together MA applications for next year … I’m getting very little time in the studio to create new work :-(
