Worldwide Paint-Out

International Plein Air Painters are organizing a worldwide paint-out for September 5th, 6th and 7th. Check their website to sign up. It's free. And since you'll probably be out painting anyway, it will be nice to know that other plein air painters (in Canada, Belgium, etc) will be participating in the same paint-out. There's also a link to click for purchasing a "Worldwide Paint-Out" t-shirt. Their site is http://www.i-p-a-p.blogspot.com/.

In North Georgia, there will be a paint-out that weekend at the annual "Battle of Tunnel Hill". All plein air painters are invited to attend. For more information, please contact BJ Wright at beejw@charter.net.

Artist Advocate Magazine

The Benefits for Artists Considering Artist Advocate Magazine
www.artistadvocatemagazine.com

Dear Artist:

We've been sending you information about how to connect to additional
galleries though our publication Artist Advocate Magazine. I'd like to
make you aware of four new things:

1. Change of Design to Look Higher-End:
We've changed the design of the magazine to reflect a higher-quality,
upper-class image. I think you'll like it. Its' clean and it does not
place any text on the cover image, which is the same approach we take with
another of our art magazines.

2. Digital Offering to Give You Increased Reach:
We will be producing a digital copy of the magazine. Its pages will flip
just like a real magazine, but, unlike a real magazine, the reader can
click on your listing and be taken to your website. You'll receive a
digital copy with your listing that you can e-mail to others. The digital
copy will also be e-mailed to the gallery list AND will be housed on our
website.

3. Welcoming Estates, Framers, and Services to Galleries:
A gallery we spoke to suggested that many galleries and art consultants
handle the estates of artists and are often seeking additional galleries
to represent the artworks. We welcome advertising for estates.
Additionally, we welcome anyone seeking to reach art galleries, including
framers, lighting companies, and other services to the gallery industry.

4. View New Video About the Magazine:
We have produced a new video and posted it online to answer some of your
questions about the magazine. Click below to view it.

who see it, you'll be grandfathered in for the inaugural rate if you
continue in other issues. (The second you stop, you lose the inaugural
rate advantage).
