Sales Commission: 30%

Ours is a truly unique gallery - 25,000 square f feet in a Civil War-era warehouse on the Red Hook waterfront in Brooklyn, NY. The vista of New York Harbor, spanning the Statue of Liberty to the Verrazzano Bridge is one of the best in the city. Our 18,000 annual visitors also enjoy the nearby restaurants, bars, IKEA and Fairway Market. Its enormous space affords us the opportunity to exhibit large work, and we welcome it. We will be using 8,000 square feet for this show, and look forward to exhibiting artist's work from all around the country, work in all sizes, and subjects, and media.

We have two synergistic missions:

to assist emerging artists in advancing their artistic careers
to present the art-of-today in an easily accessible format.

Recycle 2019, the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition's national juried show of art crafted from cast-off, discarded, and re-purposed materials, will be a celebration of ingenuity and imagination. We are seeking to exhibit sophisticated two- and three-dimensional art created in the re-use genre.

As well as looking for skill in the use of material, we want to see art that demonstrates the importance of conserving our limited natural resources. We look for how well the medium relates to the upcycling movement and how fully the artist's intention or concept is presented and realized. The juror's awards will reflect that artistic judgment. $3000 in Cash Awards

Note: All judging to enter this competition will be on-line. Decision of the judges is final.

Marketing:

Online postings, mailed postcards, press-releases to regional media.

Wonderful space. Totally loved the last exhibition. - Albert TainoImage Areizaga

Next Podcast: Can Facebook Really Help You Sell Your Work?

Posted by Connie Mettler on February 8, 2019 at 1:00pm

WEDNESDAY, FEB. 13, 6 PM ET - Listen Live

(this is a sponsored podcast)

The high overhead of doing 30 shows a year exhausting you? What if you only did 20? or 10? When I first started my websites I thought if I only had $500 more a month that would be great. Now nearly 15 years later I'm no longer putting up a tent and traveling to events. Social media, learning its ins and outs, made the difference for me.

My guest is Dave Emmons who shares some of the same background I do. He has participated in art fairs for 27 years. A while back he thought there "might be a better way" to sell his work, starting to hate what he was doing. Whether you are new to this business of art fairs and are intrigued with having more freedom in your life or you are a long time veteran and just want to slow down, Dave's (and my) premise is "let's get online."

Your customers are online, an international audience, shopping online 24/7. You have (or should have) email lists of your buyers. You probably have a website. You're probably on Facebook, maybe even a FB business page. We're going to learn from Dave how you can put it to work to make your life even better. Dave is an artist who also coaches other artists on the skills needed to sell their work online.

If you're saying, "I've tried that"; "I'm too busy", "It's too complicated" ... or the myriad other reasons, listen to this podcast. I think it might help you.

Listen at ArtFairRadio.com: Can Facebook Really Help You Sell Your Work?

Learn more about Dave Emmons and his ideas:

Will you join us? This will be Part I. If there is enough interest in 2 weeks we'll do Part II and invite you to share your experience with all of us.

Absolute Best Way to Ship Art? and the consequences

Posted by Connie Mettler on February 6, 2019 at 4:09pm

My friend, painter Greg Strachov, is recovering from brain surgery (that is another story) and he asked me to share the following information with all of you.

From Greg:

Below is an issue that I discovered regarding sending art by way of the post office. They do everything possible not to pay for damage. The note below I sent to various newspapers around the United States. I also wanted the artists to read this as this is an important awareness that will have them use the UPS to send art. FedEx does not insure art at all.

Dear editor, (I used the editors name in each letter)

The following is a very important observation made regarding the US Post Office.
Something needs to be done and reporting to public awareness is my first step.
My name is Gregory Strachov and my career is:     strachovstudio.com
It seems that artist’s cannot be covered for damage to their shipments by the USPS because they are the receipt to its cost value.

I am an artist who sent a gift to an avid collector of my work. The gift was a limited edition print which was worth $450.00.   Seeing that the recipient did not pay for it, it was insured for production value which was $50.00 by the post office.   The print arrived to the collector of my work destroyed.   I immediately reported the claim and had the recipient show the damage to their post office.   When I contacted the post office, they always had something else for me to do which was only to pass time and move past the deadline.   They later claimed that I do not have a receipt for the claim and I told them that I am the receipt. I know the value of the ink and the value of the fine art paper that was used and had this in writing. I am not insuring the retail value but insuring the production cost because it was not purchased.

In this process, I learned that the post office uses every method to stop damage payment and provides cause for claimers to give up.   They set up a system where it is impossible to collect for damage on a claim. I learned that my post office has numerous people who tried to process a damage claim and were forced to give up. I am not giving up. I want the United States to become aware of the way the US Post office earns money and keeps from paying legitimate loss claims by their customers.
Below is a copy of the letter that I sent to the post office.

Best regards,
Gregory Strachov
www.strachovstudio.com

We all depend on the Post Office to handle our shipping, can you share the info above?

What have been your experiences?
