Getting Your Art Exposed!

If you are serious about marketing your art or getting to the next level on your artistic path it is almost mandatory that you have a Web site. Most galleries, museums, agents, curators, grants administrators, directors and many others will not consider your work if you don't have a Web presence. It is the quickest way to see who you are and what your work is all about. This presence is best if it is your own and no other artists are parked next to you, hovering about with styles and philosophy that may be degrading to your own. You really need your own site, one with only your name on it. We at Gartman Technical Services believe you work too hard creating art to worry about learning a new career just to get your work into a Web site of your own. Let us provide you with valuable internet exposure with an affordable solution to getting your art into a Web site that is all about you. Gartman Technical Services offers a total Web package for artists including domain name registration, Web hosting and four site designs to choose from. These designs were developed with the artist in mind, so there is no extraneous clutter, just a well designed and intuitive path to what you want most, exposure of your art. So go ahead and browse the different site styles and imagine your name and images replacing the different artists representing each design.

My name is Stan Kurth and I am employed by Gartman Technical Services as a Web site developer. I am also an artist and know the ups and downs of traveling on that path. You can see my art in the style 3 example. I've personally been a member of several large Web sites that house thousands of artists and truly believe it is to the artist's advantage to have a domain name that points only to his or her work with no possibility of distraction, whether it be from advertising, other artists or functions that have nothing whatsoever to do with your art. If you are promoting your work to a gallery, museum, grants panel or other types of submissions, it is very important that your presentation represents the professional level you have attained, that you are indeed independent and care enough about your work to have it on a site that is not only professional in appearance but bares your name alone. Give me a call and I will be happy to discuss all the reasons of why this is so.
