Maine Studio Artists 30% OFF LATE JANUARY SALE

Studio Artist Special + Digital Catalogs

Anthony and Suzanne Anderson have published Maine Gallery + Studio Guide for 20 years.

With the pandemic causing closings and restricted visitations, Maine galleries still sold art at a brisk rate. Only this year, it was online.

Suzanne and I have been working all fall to find and employ the best methods to continue to promote and sell Maine art, especially online.

We have discovered a great way to to show your work, and tell your story digitally. We feel we are the perfect design team to offer this new service to Maine artists and galleries. The Digital Booklet we will create for you is bespoke, affordable, authentic, and has many ways to show your work in the best possible light - an Artist’s Look Book or Catalog.

To help, we are offering a 30% off Studio Artists Special for Digital Catalogs and advertsing in Maine Gallery + Studio Guide

You take your art seriously.

Let the world see that you do.

Show your work in a new light: Tell your story in your own custom designed

Artist Catalog

In 2020, the art world dramatically turned to digital and online sales.

Acording to this year’s 2020 Hiscox Online Art Trade Report, 50% more collectors bought art online overall, including 75% more millenials and twice as many new collectors.

Despite low traffic numbers this past fall, Maine art galleries reported excellent sales, selling mainly online. (Bob Keyes’ Oct. 18 story in the Portland Press Herald “Maine art sales surge during the pandemic.”)

Studio artists can join in on this timely online trend too: Have your own custom created digital presentation, that shows your work in a crisp professional design that also tells your story and shows your work beautifully.

Capture the attention of collectors with compelling digital content

Digital publications are superior to PDFs for showing art because they can contain information-rich content, direct links, embedded video, are interactive, provide statistics, mobile viewing and uploading to social media.

Most importantly, they view like a familier gallery catalog with turning pages and clean design.

Testimonials Anthony, I wanted to give you an update on the newsletter I sent out last week and how the digital catalog faired I sent the letter to 1041 customers on my email list, a total of 386 opened the letter with about 30% clicking on the catalog. I received several responses about how wonderful and professional it was and one inquiry for a potential sale, fingers crossed.

It is one of the highest click rates for one link that I have had in the last 10 months! Thank you, great work.

-- Linda D’Alessio Anthony, I think this is a great opportunity for Maine galleries to promote their artists! It also is another example of your and Suzanne’s commitment to artists and galleries in our state!

The prototype is great and an innovative way to put work out there in another format. People like “pictures” more than words!

-- Jane Littlefield

I like the catalogue very much.
