On April 7, 2009, South Florida artists gathered at Windisch-Hunt Fine Art Gallery in Coconut Grove for the first Miami Art Marketing Salon. This is a nine session course with materials provided free of charge by Alyson Stanfield, Art Biz Coach and author of I’d Rather Be In The Studio, the artist’s no-excuse guide to self-promotion.

 Â
South Miami artist and handbag designer, Debra Cortese had participated in one of Stanfield’s online marketing courses and was so impressed with the material that she made the commitment to facilitate this course for fellow artists that are interested in promoting their work and careers. You can read more about the Art Salon in the following blog posts:
*Free Art Marketing Salon for Miami area artists
*Art, Business and Astrology
*29 Miami artists participating in Art Marketing Salon
and at
*ArtBizConnection.com
The Miami Art Salon was filled to capacity on the first day and is no longer accepting registrations for this term, however, Cortese is already planning another Art Marketing Salon sometime in the fall of 2009, and she is putting together the outline for an Art Licensing workshop. To be notified of either, SEND AN EMAIL to artmarketing@debracortese.com or Sign up HERE to receive announcements and her monthly newsletter.

It is thrilling to see everyone’s work. I got to meet everyone from the art salon and get to know them first. Every participant shines–and now I can see why. We all have passion and are eager to collaborate with other artists. We are all on a mission to make the planet a more beautiful place! And, we will. . .

Hello Debra,
The artwork looks so beautiful on the blog,
it is almost as if without knowing it you have
curated our first virtual exhibit.
Debra, thank you for including me in the listing.
Honestly, I thought that only the artists
would be mentioned so I am honored to be
included among such talent.

I echo Deborah’s words and add that as Program Director for the
South Florida Writers Association, I asked Debra Cortese and she
agreed to be our guest speaker at SFWA’s May 2 meeting at the
South Miami Elk’s Club (10-noon). Debra’s MIAMI ARTS MARKETING
SALON based on Alyson Stanfeld’s course is valuable to writers as
well and we cannot wait to hear Debra’s pearls of wisdom this coming
Saturday. [Phone Don at 786-877-0136 for further SFWA information.]

Hi Debra,
LYnda
looks great! Would you please make just a couple of changes on the entry for me, though. name: LYnda (with a “Y”) and description of my art would be watercolor, batik and digital art. Many thanks!

Hi Debra, Thanks for the posting, and the great group. I really enjoyed the sessions. Maybe this will be the launching pad!
