Now's The Time to Market Your Art Online
T
he Art Business News e-Gallery
at artandframinggallery.com
is something that I want you
to know about. We've offered many
ways for you to market your art and
your art businesses, so now here
is another option that some of you
may not be aware of, or are a little
unsure of.
Rest easy. I'm about to explain.
The Art Business News e-Gallery
is an online, virtual art gallery for
SOLO artists, art publishers, and art
galleries, enabling them to display
their artwork in a professional man-
ner to a much wider audience.
SOLO artists and art publishers that build an ABN
e-Gallery also have the option to link their profiles to
www.artandframinSOURCES.com. the leading search
engine for the art and framing industry.
Users are able to search directly from the home page
of the ABN e-Gallery, or by clicking "Search the ABN e-
Gallery" in the navigation pane. After you have entered
the key word, it will bring up your request, and you can
then click on the gallery name or the link to "View the
ABN e-Gallery," to get more detailed information about
the artist or publisher and the artwork that they are
presenting on the site.
The ABN e-Gallery includes the newest and fresh-
est galleries of artwork . Who is it for? It's for SOLO
artists, photographers, galleries and publishers who
want to create an exciting internet presence on our art
and framing community Web site, giving them greater
access to art buyers. More than 2,000 visits are tallied
each month, with the number growing at a fast rate.
Why did we build the site? Because art and fram-
ing is what we do. We market the ABN e-Gallery using

March Issue Is'Explosive'
I've read Art Business News for so many years and
this [March] issue is the most interesting ever. The many
profiles were very personal and insightful. And there's so
much new art, and really fine art. It's like something ex-
ploded in this issue. You should be so proud. You just keep
getting better.
