Let’s grow TOGETHER!

Arts Promotion and Growth: OVERVIEW!
I’m different and I think different.. so after more than a dozen years working the hand crafters vendor floors.. from Vancouver to Ottawa.. one thing I know: Old School Promo doesn’t work anymore (and “algorythms” are constantly changing in favor of money.. not artwork) so.. OUTREACH has to be guerilla, has to be different.. and that’s where I come in.. starting with The Standard Exhibit magazine!

The Standard Exhibit
~is a 120 page(ish) Digest Sized Print Quarterly Magazine… that means it’s about 5″ by 8″ in size and comes out every three months.. but we’ll be releasing digital versions in between the print.
~The magazine is being distributed professionally from Vancouver to Ottawa and down in to the USA. It is, also, being snailmailed to my retailers, retail outlets I’ve discovered.. and other interested locations and all pick up points will be listed online, shortly.

~The purpse of the mag is ENGAGEMENT.. starting with an Eye- Catching cover, as exampled at right, that will inspire pick- up, the content is.. arts, entertainment, and ENVIRONMENT.. along with a healthy dose of cycling related coverages.

It’s FREE to pick up!
Free items have a 2.5x to 3x pick up rate.. add in a QR code Scan- To- Get campaign and readership could reach 4x print run volumes! So, The Standard Exhibit can reach over 100,000 readers each issue with a press run of 35,000 units. 

I want to promote YOU!

Are you an Artist?
I’m scheduling a cool “Art Extravaganza” to take place at the end of my trial tour of The Great Lakes. A few main things to consider:

Artists are suggested to have 20 to 30 pieces for exhibit and sale All art is requested to be priced at no greater than $200 CAD All items offered for public sale will be RFID security protected to minimize theft The event will be scheduled to take place in Toronto, On. at or near the conlusion of my Great Lakes testing tour. While the spectific location is “to be determined” I am leveraging my connections in the Film/ Video industry for high profile short term rental in order to facilitate access by any means of transportation (patrons arriving by bicycle will be given discounted entry, obvie!) I will be reaching out to less than 100 selected artists for participation. If you haven’t been contacted and are interested, please read the Google Doc Info Pack and reach out.

Are you an Artisan?
The aforementioned Extravaganza will be streamed to a maximized audience.. that means you can reach outside of your geographic zone and find NEW clients, new customers.. new sale points. I am currently reaching out to a select and non- repetitive group of artisans.. if you are interested, read the google doc hosted info pack and reach out.

Extra Stuff

The Extravaganza will be a 30 hour in- person and streamed “hybrid” event. I am interested in promoting a wide variety of artists and artisans through the ZOOM broadcast infrastructure. If you are a Film Maker, a BodyPainter, a Musician/ Musical Act, or MORE.. check out the Google Doc Info Pack and reach out!
