I wish I could discourage artists from buying this book...
...it would stop them from having access to the most valuable ideas to helping anyone from progressing as a serious artist, and leave more room for ME to advance!!!!
I thought I was an ideas person, and knew most of the ways of getting my art 'out there' but this book is jam packed with viable options of all imaginable venues and opportunities, as well as spelling out specific contacts and how to go about it all.
From the moment I opened the book, I was highlighting, jotting down ideas, and revitalised in my enthusiasm to succeed with my art. I intend to read, re-read, and then read again this book. It will become my artist 'bible'.
It encouraged me to put effort into submitting work to a hospital where it will now be viewed by thousands of people, and other exciting projects are now being explored.
A HUGE thank you to Peggy for writing this book and being so generous with her first-hand knowledge sharing. I certainly learnt SO much from it, and would have to recommend it to any artist who wishes to progress in the art world (even though I wish they don't buy it, so that I can have all the opportunities to myself!).

Great reference tool!
Keep this on your bookshelf to get your mind jumpstarted re: where to show your work. It's a great guide to be read cover-to-cover or just occasionally flipping through. The suggestions of how and where can be easily answered if you're wondering how to get started in showing your work. It's like someone is there to hold your hand when you're worried or to cheer you on when you're excited.

Great Book
Great Book. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. This book looks like a do it yourself art promotion book. This book gives me hope and confidence outside the gallery realm. Some of these are markets I never even heard of and list many references. Page 45 on corporations is a really inspirational section and even lists some. The book even talks about marketing to public transit systems which is where I work. I recommend this book to any artist who wants to sell their work. This is one of the best art marketing books I ever read. Similar Products
