Join us next Saturday, 5/28, from 1 - 3pm in the Building 14001 auditorium for the first in a series of Round Table Discussions on topics of professional interest to the Goldmark artist community!
During this first discussion, we will be talking about the different methods of merchandising your artwork and how some artists have been able to turn art merchandise sales into a supplemental revenue stream.
We have specially invited several Goldmark artists with substantial and diverse experiences in art merchandising to contribute their knowledge to the discussion, show samples of their merchandise, and share their recommendations for merchandise manufacturers and vendors. Together, we will explore answers to questions like:
What factors should you consider when reproducing your original artwork and designs on merchandise products?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of different types of merchandise products in terms of design, production, sales, and shipment?
What types of merchandise products (stickers, enamel pins, keychains, prints, pillows, t-shirts, cards, mugs, etc) are appropriate for your artwork?
Why does art merchandising work for some artists but not others?
So if you have any interest in the possibility of merchandising your artwork or if you have any knowledge or experience to share on this topic, we encourage you to join in on this Round Table Discussion.
Below you can see a preview of some of the different merchandise samples that we will be looking at and talking about during the Discussion.
