How to Start Showing Your Art
The link is to an article about “How to Start Showing Your Art” by JR Compton of the Dallas Arts Revue. It's filled with frank and at times droll suggestions for artists wanting to get started in the art world. The organizations listed are Dallas-based, but with a little research equivalents for your area can easily be found.

Art Biz Coach
The driving force behind this website is Alyson Stanfield, a former art museum curator and educator. While the website is primarily a vehicle for her art consulting business, she has some fantastic mini articles on topics for the artist such as “Coping with Criticism, Pricing your Work, Self-Promotion”, etc. http://www.artbizcoach.com/
Summer Reading
These have been out for a while, but are still good reads. All of them can be found on Amazon.com.
Shutterbabe: Adventures in Love & War by Deborah Copaken Kogan – real-life, real scary photojournalism.
The Soul's Palette: Drawing on Art's Transformative Powers by Cathy A. Malchiodi – great exercises.
The Mission of Art by Alex Grey – dense and at times weird reading, but over-all greatly inspirational.
