There are a number of issues facing today’s student artists, which are common across all the disciplines from fine art to photography. Firstly the art industry has always been tough to get recognition from and many artists find it hard to make a living, none more so than when you’re a student or recent graduate. Another issue student or graduate artists face is that they often don’t get the best return possible on the sale of their work and commission rates commercial galleries charge are fairly high. Not forgetting the level of debt that the students will face through tuition fees and charges for materials that are often essential for Art & Design courses.

A reflection of these costs can be found when looking at advice given to students of the Royal College of Art in London. There website sTates that

“We estimate that to live in London for a full year (term-time and vacations) will require a single student to have funding of a minimum of £11’500”

This is a substantial amount of money and to earn this and support your self whilst at university with no parental help would require a job. Having had a quick search through one of the leading job sites for the London area, a typical part time job such as a receptionist in a legal firm working three full days a week would earn them £11’700 before deductions.

This would realistically be a close shave and not leave much in the way of funds available for other expenses that the students are advised to budget for

“Students also need to allow for spending on course materials over and above the amounts provided by the College.”

Although an indication to the level of these costs are not given on the site, students will still need to pay £4250 for tuition fees at the start of each academic year.

So what art students and graduates need is an opportunity to earn a fair return for the sale of their work and ultimately give them un biased exposure, whilst levelling the playing field a little.

One commercial website believes they have come up with a way of dong just that. The website which is to be opened to art students this month and will be launched to the world next spring is from the same stable of websites as www.thestudentzone.com which already has a strong commitment to tackling issues such as student debt. See www.thestudentzone.com/sdrs

The website to be launched under the banner of CompelloArt.com will allow students to exhibit and sell their work for a very low rate of commission along side the commercial galleries and artists exhibits with no indication that the pieces are from a student artist. This will give the students an opportunity to exhibit their work in a uniquely competitive way. The students will be able to access this facility by registering through www.thestudentzone.com/art who are a major sponsor of www.compelloart.com. The student exhibiters will also be subject to an especially low rate of commission of only 10% on any sales made through the website.

The Saatchi Gallery London is a major supporter of the project and Kieran from the organisation commented

“CompelloArt.com is a very exciting opportunity for Students to showcase their artwork and reach a worldwide audience. Alongside STUART, on the Saatchi Gallery website we believe this is the future of how art will be brought and viewed in the future.”

It is hoped that the success of the project will lead to more of our talented young artists breaking onto the international stage and to further this goal the Saatchi Gallery will be selecting artists to become featured on the website as well as their own well respected web presence www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk

Have you been toying with the idea of quitting your day job and setting up your own online business? Before you take that leap of faith, you better seriously evaluate your present situation. An internet business can be quite challenging and it can be rewarding too but it you do not know anything about internet marketing, it is best to put your decision about quitting your job on hold.

Internet marking is the heart and soul of selling online. If you are one of those people who think that you are good at selling things offline that may not be true online. Note that unlike when you make a face to face sale where you get to convince the client directly to buy your product, selling online can be more challenging because you do not meet the client face to face. When you sell things online, you depend much on your ability to be visible. Even if you have some exceptionally good products, if you are not visible, nobody will really know that you actually exist.

How does one become visible online? It is the role of internet marketing to make your site and your product visible to the online users. Where in the actually world you rely mostly on your persuasive skills to win clients, in internet marketing, you will need the skills and technical know-how to direct traffic to your site. Of course you can always hire someone to help you direct traffic to your site but it is a big advantage on your part if you have a good working knowledge on how these things are done. Note that driving traffic to your site can be done in many ways such as through search engine optimisation, advertising, networking, direct mailing and many others. Once you have a good grasp of how you can direct traffic to your website, you can now confidently quit your day job.
