HOT FreeLayouts.com / MyHotCommentsThe Chicago Art Society is a new community in its early stages of growth. The overall goal of this group is to create opportunities for artist to showcase their work. I have seen an overwhelming amount of art "SIT" in someones basement, garage, @ home studio and not ever get the exposure it truly deserved. The reasons why? They are ongoing! I have always been a resourceful person. Having a womens clothing store (Shop City Chicago), I know how important a good marketing/sales plan is to get merchandise sold. I realized that THIS aspect is what most artist are missing. The opportunity to showcase their work!Unfortunately I am not an artist. I have a passion for the arts and admire artists dedication to their work. I am a business manager/owner and event promoter. Through the Society, I create opportunities for artist to showcase and establish referal networks that ultimately result in long term clients and sales of their work.Here are some commonly asked questions:1.
