Does Anyone Go To A Football Match To View Art?

Exhibiting art isn’t all about white gallery walls and open spaces, as an artist, you must think outside the box. While many art lovers enjoy a trip to an art exhibition, there are many who simply don’t have the time or don’t feel inclined to attend. So, finding spaces where you can display your art in alternative ways is a must.

Promoting your art in conjunction with interior designers is always a great way to get your art seen, displayed and hopefully purchased.  Not just homes but more and more offices, cafés and restaurants are looking to display art and can often give customers an opportunity to buy the art, this is a win-win as the artist gets publicity and the company gets amazing art to display! After our experiences of lockdown, I think more and more people appreciated their homes as well as being able to then get back into the office, to socialise and regain normality. This is where considerate employers are appreciating the power of art for their staff, to stimulate, relax and inspire. Colours, themes, messages can all be conveyed through art, it’s no fluke that major city companies choose to display the most exciting new artists in their foyers, that even football clubs have art galleries in their stadiums.

Tottenham’s world class contemporary art gallery shows some inspiring works, exploring the relationship between art and football,  including emerging artists such as Lindsey Mendick – giving fans and visitors to the stadium not only the joy of football and the awe inspiring architecture of this ground but also exciting contemporary art, conjoining art and football and why not? Just great!

Not only is the world of football embracing art but also as we all know the iconic statues that stand outside many stadiums need talented sculptors and these are always in demand for new statues being created across the country.

Interior designers out number art galleries four to one, and as a growing design initiative, the demand for art to fill interior spaces is increasing. Art PR and marketing agencies like Quite Great can help raise your profile and social media attention to attract attention so that designers notice your work and this can open up new options and avenues for promoting and hopefully selling more pieces.

Keeping Up with Design Trends:

So, although PR can help with this, it is important as an artist that you are mindful of what is popular. Social media of course is a vital art marketing tool to convey your work, your awareness and your style that could fit with current trends. Regular posts and blogs really do reach out to share your work.

Having a Portfolio of Work:

Interior designers, much like artists, have an array of design ideas for the spaces they are designing, so it is important for artists to have a large amount of work to choose from, as well as work that could look good together in different spaces. It is important to have an array of artwork in different styles and colours to work within these spaces.

Abstract painter Dmitry Art is a prime example of someone who’s versatile attitude towards his paintings makes him a prime candidate to work with Interior Designers in this way. His mood paintings could help designers to fulfil a desired feeling within a space and his style is constant throughout his work in a way that would work in a large number of design trends. It is not just art but of course also photography that can be so impactful in homes and offices. Large photographs can add impact and life to interiors, a situation when size does matter! The larger the better for that wow factor that takes over the room. David Hicks, the travel photojournalist brings the world to your doorstep with his stunning images of those special moments captured in photographic art.

So, if galleries are your goal, interior design is a great way to get the exposure necessary and build contacts to get you to the next step. Clients who envisage your work within a space could also then buy your artwork through the Interior Designer, allowing you supplement your income. Thinking outside the box and working out clever ways to gain traction for your art is a great step for success in the art world and using art PR will get you on the ladder even quicker. So whether fitting in some art viewing before kick off, I mean what could be better?  Or being inspired for that new promotion by an artwork in your office or of course putting the finishing touches to your interior style with art, a talking point and a major feature – there’s so many outlets for artists and now’s the time to explore them all.
