Hello dear readers and subscribers, Apologies for the somewhat unorthodox introduction with my handheld camera. I’m fighting a lot of deadlines these weeks, so I have to choose my battles wisely. And creating this tutorial was a wise one! More and more artists feel they need to combine both: the credibility of gallery representation and the independence of self-representation. That’s exactly what this Squarespace template is designed for: an artist website that combines maximum credibility in the high-end contemporary art world with real business results, growing an email list of potential collectors and business partners, and generating direct sales online. Of course, building the website is only part of it. Driving the right traffic to it is the other. You’ll find plenty of advice on that on CAI too: https://www.contemporaryartissue.com P.S. Yes, I know. It’s “collector,” not “collecter.” I have no idea how it got in there, and even less how it stayed there. Spelling, apparently, was one of the battles I lost. Deeply embarrassed. The “e” has been asked to explain itself. It declined to comment. 🌟 Overview: Career Advice for Artists → https://www.contemporaryartissue.com/... 🍿 Watch Next (Key Videos for Artists) → Self-Taught Success:    • 6 Steps To Success as a Self-Taught Artist...   → How To Make Money as an Artist:    • 20 Ways: How To Make Money As An Artist (R...   → Develop Your Art Style:    • How To Develop A Consistent Art Style: 6 P...   → The Art World Explained:    • Explained: What is the Art World? — Part 1...   📖 Recommended Books: → Art World & Career Advice: https://amzn.to/4aCllb1 → How To Become A Successful Artist: https://amzn.to/3YwtjvS → Art History: https://amzn.to/3I0ri5I → Overview of books: https://www.contemporaryartissue.com/... ✏️ Recommended Tools & Ressources: → Squarespace for artist websites: squarespace.syuh.net/9W4rDY → Artenda for art opportunities: https://artenda.net → Artfacts for career rankings: https://artfacts.net/register?ref=596... ❤️ Support us on Patreon: →   / contemporaryartissue   ℹ️ About CAI: CAI is the abbreviation of 'Contemporary Art Issue,' a hybrid platform for contemporary art including: → Online Magazine: https://www.contemporaryartissue.com/... → Advice for Artists: https://www.contemporaryartissue.com/... → CAI Gallery: https://www.contemporaryartissue.com/... → Webshop: https://www.contemporaryartissue.com/... 👨 About the host Julien Delagrange: Julien Delagrange is an art historian, contemporary artist, and the founder and director of CAI.
