Let METAL Inclinations2 Promote Your Metal Art

Many may not realize how much the Society for Midwest Metalsmiths (SMM) has done to promote the artists who were selected for METAL Inclinations1. SMM's mission as a not for profit organization is to promote metalsmithing and metal artists, so they are doing all in their power to promote the artists selected for the METAL Inclinations Exhibitions.

Each of the top 50 images has a place on the main METAL Inclinations Gallery web page. Plus each image selected has a personal designated web page. On your personal web page will be the photo of your work, your artist statement, a description of your work and a link to your business website or your email address. With a great photo and an insightful artist statement you will be able to attract interested International viewers to your work.

Using the link provided to your business website you may sell your piece in the exhibition or other pieces you may have. SMM does NOT receive a percentage of your sales. This is an incredible way to expand your world wide presence on the web to possible galleries and clients and increase traffic on your own web site. The Exhibition will be running officially for at least one year, but really much longer as the running show is used to promote the next Exhibit and then is archived online.

For METAL Inclinations1, International publicity was provided. Ads were run especially to promote the selected winners and the Exhibition in Ornament Magazine, Metalsmith Magazine and Craft Arts International magazine. PR releases were sent to major art print publications all over the world, online art listings and blogs, including Orchid and SNAGnet. This year with METAL Inclinations2 SMM plans a similar campaign to promote the top 50 artists and award winners.
