The advancement in technology in the twenty first century has introduced new and exciting ways for artists to self-promote their artwork while traditional methods remain viable. To be competitive in the art market an artist must understand and implement a variety of marketing strategies. Effective marketing is particularly critical for an art teacher who is also a practicing artist in order to sell their artwork. Through a comparative analysis of readily available marketing tools for artwork, I explore in this study a variety of ways that an artist can establish a successful career in art through the use of technology, and create a roadmap that can be used to shorten their route.

The aim of this thesis is to describe thoroughly the way Czech museums of art are using the principles of marketing communications nowadays. Theoretical part of the thesis presents brief history of modern museums worldwide as well as in the Czech Republic (with special stress on the network of regional galleries being founded in the second half of the 20th century. It also presents bases of museum marketing and the elements of integrated marketing concept applied on galleries. Terms of branding and fundraising are mentioned as well. The research part of the thesis contains the results of questionnaire survey among 10 representatives of Czech regional galleries. Each of the included museums of art is introduced with emphasis on their ways of using marketing communications principles. Their visual identities are also described and media monitoring analysis is added to all of them. We can say that the principles of marketing communications are anchored among Czech galleries; however they struggle with the lack of finance needed to concentrate more on such activities.

The project takes marketing strategies learned in business and applies them to the work of visual artists. The project consists of two parts. The first part includes marketing materials and brand identity for a marketing/career counseling business (coach4artists). Materials for the counseling business consist of a corporate identity package, a brochure, a website, a business plan, and a marketing plan for the company. The second part includes marketing materials for a student artist (the "client") from California State University, San Bernardino. Materials for the client consist of a corporate identity package, a brochure, a postcard, a website, a business plan and a marketing plan.

Teater Västmanland har på senaste tiden inte kunnat fylla sina föreställningar med publik, som förr i tiden. Detta har medfört att teatern har tänkt över vilka möjligheter som finns för dem. Att söka sig till nya kundgrupper var en av möjligheterna, mer specifikt handlar denna uppsats om företag i Västerås som en potentiell kundgrupp för Teater Västmanland. Syftet med denna uppsats är att ta reda på ifall företag i Västerås är potentiella kunder för vår uppdragsgivare Teater Västmanland. Vi ska ta reda på orsakerna till varför företagen inte besöker teatern när företagen arrangerar personaltillställningar, samt vad som skulle kunna få dem att besöka teatern. Vi kontaktade de 50 största företagen i Västerås via telefon. Av dessa 50 företag bokades 20st för intervjuer, varav 17 intervjuer till slut genomfördes. Intervjuerna gjordes mestadels via telefon, så kallade telefonintervjuer, medan ett par intervjuer gjordes på respondenternas arbetsplatser, så kallade personliga intervjuer. Undersökningens resultat visade tydliga samband mellan de intervjuade företagen. Det största problemet som uppstod var att företagen ansåg att teatern som underhållningsform inte bidrog till att skapa gemenskap inom publiken, vilket var huvudsyftet med majoriteten av företagens personaltillställningar, att skapa gemenskap. Övrigt ansåg respondenterna bland annat att teaterföreställningarna tar för lång tid, att det finns för lite kringarrangemang och att utbudet är för snävt.

Formal art education equips students with skills to produce artworks. A formal art education may increase the opportunity for employment, however, art-related employment is very limited. Art graduates would be better equipped to market and manage art establishments or their own careers if art education were to be supplemented with basic business skills. Artists who wish to earn unsupplemented incomes from their art should undertake to acquire business acumen. This includes being presentable to the market place in attitude and appearance. It also includes aptitude in art, marketing and management. Role models and non-models of success and failure in business should also be observed. Art graduates should adopt applicable tried and tested business methods. Good marketing is a mix of business activities which identifies and creates consumer needs and wants. Marketing activities involve research, planning, packaging, pricing, promoting and distributing products and services to the public to create exchanges that satisfy individual and organisational objectives. Art products include artworks, frames, art books and art materials. Art-related services include the undertaking of commissions, consulting, teaching, free parking, convenient shopping hours, acceptance of mail or telephone orders, exhibitions, ease of contact, approval facilities, wrapping, delivery, installations (picture hanging), quotations, discounts, credit facilities, guarantees, trade-ins, adjustments and restorations. Good management is a mix of business activities which enables a venture to meet the challenges of supply and demand. There is a blueprint for management competence. The three dimensions of organisational competence are collaboration, commitment and creativity. Self-marketing and management is an expression of an artist's most creative being. It is that which can ensure and sustain recognition and income. Artists, like other competent organisations and entrepreneurs from the private sector, should operate with efficient manufacturing, marketing, management and finance departments. They are also equally important and therefore demand equal attention. Artistic skill together with business acumen should equip the artist to successfully compete in the market place. There are no short-cuts to becoming an artist but there are short-cuts to becoming a known and financially stable artist. Understanding marketing and management could mean the difference between waiting in poverty and frustration for a "lucky break" (which may only happen after an artists's death) and taking control. Success should be perpetuated through continuous effort.
