You've Got Trouble Enough Already !
Whether you're an individual printmaker, a university art department, or a printmaking collective, putting together a gallery show or a stand at a fair is trouble enough. You not only have to produce the work, but you've got to get it photographed and framed, get the invitations designed, printed and sent out. You've got to attend the press and see that the work is properly hung. It's not precisely the ideal time to be thinking about creating a website or even expanding an existing one!

Even so, after all the work you've put into your show, it's a shame not to present it on the World Wide Web where it can be seen by fine-art print lovers and buyers from all over world, beginning with your own hometown. It would also be great to put your show online beforehand, so it could work as advance publicity for your gallery exhibit or art-fair presence.

Who Has the Time For Such Niceties?
We do! World Printmakers not only has the time. We also have the expertise to put your online show together, as well as the audience you need, a public made up of fine-print enthusiasts, educators, editors and museum curators from around the world. And, with 100,000-200,000 hits monthly, the World Printmakers diffusion is the best in the printmaking business.!

How Easy Can It Be?
Let's see just how easy we can make it for you. Simply e-mail us the place and dates of your exhibit and photographs in .jpg format of the prints you're hanging, along with a brief biog/cv, and we'll create an attractive online exhibit for you and publish it on a special section (linked from our homepage, of course!) on the World Wide Web's premier fine-art print site:World Printmakers. (And when your gallery show is taken down your virtual show remains active in the World Printmakers permanent searchable archive, where it can always be accessed in the future.)

Then you can add a line to the bottom of your invitations which go out to the press and the public: "Like to see a preview of the show? Have a look at the online version at http://www.worldprintmakers.com/shows/****.htm." Your online exhibit can multiply your attendance figures--between actual and virtual visitors--many times over. And this added exposure is bound to have a positive repercussion on your show's bottom line.

What If It's a Collective?
If it's a collective show that's fine, too. Actually, the majority of the online exhibits we publish are collectives, and they invariably look great and function well (see below). One advantage of the collective is that the cost of the online exhibit can be shared among all the artists participating in the show.

What Does This Service Cost?
A token fee, really, starting from €200 (about $240) for a one-person show. For this modest amount we'll publish an online exhibit with 20 images (plus enlargements) of the prints you're hanging in your show, as well your CV/artist's biography/statement. The service includes information on the venue, dates, opening hours, etc., as well as coverage of your show in our monthly newsletter which goes out to some 2,000 destinations in the art world.

If you have an upcoming print exhibit, drop us an e-mail now so as we can start thinking in advance about preparing and publishing an online version of your show which will permit you to promote your work better and guarantee the success of your exhibit!
