                                    would require dozens of pieces of wall décor. 
                                    Once we gathered the information about sizes, 
                                    styles, etc. that would be appropriate for 
                                    the project, we performed the appropriate 
                                    searches and presented Gena with 380 choices. 
                                    Gena narrowed the list to 70 works. </font>

                                          We are frequently asked by artists to, 
                                          "please take a look at my art" 
                                          or some variation on that theme. What 
                                          is implicit in the request is that we 
                                          will fall in love, create a market for 
                                          this artist, and ride off into the sunset 
                                          together. </font></p>
                                        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">However, 
                                          all of us should face the fact that 
                                          there are no secrets, no magic potions, 
                                          no shortcuts to success. The path to 
                                          success requires hard work. If in the 
                                          real estate world it is Location, Location, 
                                          Location; then in the art world it is 
                                          Exposure, Exposure, Exposure.</font></p>
                                        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">What 
                                          can you do to ensure your art will be 
                                          "exposed" to the right buyers?  
                                          First, be aware not all buyers are created 
                                          equal. There is a retail and a wholesale 
                                          buyer. Frankly, the wholesale buyer 
                                          influences most retail purchases, which 
                                          is why we spend most of our marketing 
                                          dollar attracting the wholesale buyers 
                                          for our artists.  </font></p>
                                        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Here 
                                          are three Steps you should consider 
                                          taking &#8212; three Steps likely to 
                                          net you a positive result.<br>
                                          <br>
                                          1. Find galleries and designers to represent 
                                          your art to their existing customers. 
                                          Easier said than done, true.  We 
                                          have developed [Exhibitions] as one 
                                          way to facilitate this.<br>
                                          <br>
                                          2. Get your works on the Internet. Given 
                                          the extremely low cost of posting your 
                                          works online, you would be absolutely 
                                          crazy not to take advantage of [online 
                                          listing]. art-exchange offers a very 
                                          low cost, effective way to take advantage 
                                          of the Net. <br>
                                          <br>
                                          3. Attend ArtExpo in New York. A few 
                                          years ago the hosts of the Artexpo New 
                                          York developed SOLO as an entry level 
                                          booth exposure for early stage artists.  
                                          SOLO puts an artist&#8217;s work on 
                                          the floor of the Jacob Javits Center 
                                          along side the best known and best selling 
                                          artists and publishers on earth. In 
                                          this special section on the floor artists 
                                          just like you differentiate themselves 
                                          from all of the artists afraid to take 
                                          a chance.  Each year approximately 
                                          15,000 buyers attend this show to make 
                                          art selections for the new year.</font></p>
                                        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">If 
                                          you are an artist who is "unknown" 
                                          and you wish to become "known" 
                                          you simply can't go wrong "investing 
                                          in yourself"! Above are three simple 
                                          and relatively inexpensive ways you 
                                          can do so. If you can find a way to 
                                          do any of the above you will be Exposing 
                                          your works to literally thousands of 
                                          individuals and companies who could 
                                          make a difference in your life. Be bold, 
                                          step out, share your wonderful creations 
                                          with the people who need what you have!</font></p>
