help me collaborate on a name for my art business and ideas for marketing?
hey everyone, i'll start off with a short background. my names terra. im 19. i do a lot of painting and drawing. i work in a lot of mediums, such as acrylic, oil pastel, graphite, spray paint.. and i do mostly realist-type art, such as portraits, still lifes, landscapes, ect but my favorite subject is people. i love capturing the emotion and character in someones face.
now my current situation.. ive done some commissioned work, and started marketing myself a little.. (handing out business cards, creating a facebook page for my art, ect) but ive been talking to my sister who went to school for graphic design about expanding my little art "business" she needs to build up her portfolio, so shes agreed to help me make business cards, post cards that promote my art, pamphlets that would have my artists statement, ect. im really looking forward to working on these things with her and we have some good ideas already, but i thought i would open up the collaboration further to all of you. first thing i would like some help with, is choosing a name. with my old business cards, i just had my name and information and featured one of my pictures on the card. my sister and i have some ideas for the design (although, feel free to chime in) but i was thinking, i should create a name/title for my business. an idea i had was to play on the word "heart" and have a name like.. art beat(s) art's desire art attack art rate? kingdom of arts queen of arts i was also thinking of fitting my name into my business name some how (ie: terra's art, ect) but kind of gave up on that another thing i could use advice on is ways to market my art. along with the ideas i posted above, i was thinking of making a post card or pamphlet i could hand out to coffee shops, dentist offices ect explaining that i could rent their wall space/ display my art in their place of business. i think that would be more professional then just going around promoting myself and taking up peoples time. oh, and eventually, i would like to have a "showing" for my art. so i could use some help planning that. should i find a space to rent, or network with other artists to share costs and set up an event.. maybe at someones house or studio also, since im just starting out, it would be very helpful to collaborate with other artists, so to anyone who has experience with this kind of thing, let me know if you want to exchange emails or something so we can perhaps keep in contact and turn to each other for advice? anyway, i think that's enough for everyone to think about, and thank you in advance for the help, i know this is a somewhat long question.
