Building your art business

ArtFest Fort Myers supports artists as they grow their businesses and create more revenue streams. We are available to talk with you by email or phone — the ArtFest staff enjoys talking to artists and sharing ideas.

We've also partnered with experts to bring you free webinars and video training — actionable information to build your art business.

Using video to build your Business

Video is key to reaching your fans and customers. But it can feel daunting, so we've put together this series to make it easy for you to use this powerful medium effectively. This series covers:

  • How to use your camera phone to create a virtual studio tour (you don't need fancy equipment, reach in your pocket)
  • The exact steps to take to create a great video (handy checklist for easy reference)
  • How to play to the camera: Tricks and tips from a professional actor, coach, and director (you, too, can get comfortable in front of the camera!)
  • How to edit video for maximum impact (it's easier than you might think)
Watch this FREE series now and learn how to use the power of video to build your art business.

Your art deserves the best visual presentation. In this training, you will benefit from 30 years of experience exhibiting at art festivals and learn how to put your best foot forward on your website and jury submissions.
