Resources

This page is devoted to resources that I have found useful in my art career.

Pinterest for Shy Artists

I created several Pinterest boards with useful information for artists and crafters. Right now there are boards for books, show canopies, and useful items for shows.

If you have any items you think I should pin, please email me with the link.

EventLister.com

This is an online database of shows. I have been using it for years. It is filled with hundreds of different art shows, craft shows, events, and places for vendors to sell their wares all across the country. Try using this search box to find shows near you, or click the link above to visit their site.


Prezi.com

This is a really cool online tool for making presentations. It takes a little while to get used to how it works. Once you've got it figured out, you can create some really interesting shows.

Here's a Prezi I created for the children's book author Scott E. Sutton. I really like is the various levels of detail that can be incorporated into a slide show. It's kind of like zooming in with Google Earth. Imagine using this to show details of your artwork. (Click on the arrows to watch the show.)

From their website: "SCORE is a nonprofit association dedicated to educating entrepreneurs and helping small businesses start, grow, and succeed nationwide. SCORE is a resource partner with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), and has been mentoring small business owners for more than forty years."

There is a wealth of information on the SCORE website. It's great if you are just starting a business or if you need help with an existing business.
