This book is like a language course that is meant to enhance your ability to communicate your art and creative ideas to the world. In the new millennium, artists must create new models for exhibitions and sales. They must also be aware of new modes of communication, from social networking to the latest mobile phone apps. How we share visual information is radically shifting, and artists can benefit from all of these new tools. In this hyper-competitive world, the latest software and hardware, as it applies to creativity and promotion, is part of a language you must be conversant in. This book works as a course (downloadable syllabus available) and as a companion volume to Carey’s recent book, Making It in the Art World.

About the Author
Brainard Carey was born in Manhattan, New York, and grew up in Yonkers. After attending undergraduate art school at SUNY Purchase, he moved to Rhode Island and opened a gallery and began publishing a literary magazine. Carey then moved back to New York City, where he met Delia Bajo, and cofounded Praxis, which was invited to be in the Whitney Biennial in 2002 and to be in a solo show there in 2007, as well as other venues around the world. Carey also has a mentoring/ educational business that helps artists to write grants, exhibit, and advance their careers. He splits his time between New York City and a studio in New Haven, Connecticut, where he has a radio show on Yale radio WYBC called The Art World Demystified.

Great Resource on Using Social Media for your Art
Aug 1 2012
By cbirke20
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I have been dumbfounded and disappointed by the lack of interest in my art(or myself/comments) through social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and Deviantart. I knew people who were making a profitable living through sites such as Ebay selling their art but did not know how to do this myself. This is all answered in this great resource, 'New Markets for Artists'.
Firstly, I grew tiresome of Facebook (especially those silly games)and never realized it could be used as a tool to showcase my art and make connections with people to become interested. I thought maybe my art was just too horrible, thought of myself as a talentless artist or maybe some of my humour and subject matter was in poor taste or I offended someone. I have this same fear sometimes when I quickly send a tweet of a joke on my mind via Twitter, and have no followers.
This is not so much the case as Mr. Carey has eloquently pointed out here in his excellent book 'New Markets for Artists' and how to use social media to sell yourself. Connecting to people through social media is a process, and one that requires patience. I never was very good (and still am not) at selling myself and artwork. Using social media as Mr. Carey explains is easier and less daunting that I thought. It also gives fantastic advice on how to use your website with widgets linked to social media sites: Twitter, Facebook, etc. This book is a must have for artists who wish to make a living through social media and/or use social media for business/business contacts in attracting potential customers, organizations and sponsors.

A Good Read!!

By Karen B.
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
With the constant invention of new technology, the traditional ways of doing things are changing everyday. Over the last decade the internet and social media have broadened opportunities and have made it easier to be in touch with a large amount of people. Artists of all kind are now able to take their destinies into their own hands. Carey has put together a complete guide to pursuing an art career using the free social media tools that are available to all of us. The book makes these tools easy for both novice and advanced users. The book also provides many stories and examples of how other artists have done well for themselves by using these social media tools and resources. This allows readers to be optimistic about their careers. Definitely a good read for all artists of all ages.
