As most of you know by now, I like to share useful art tips and art marketing ideas that I have learned myself or from fellow artists.
I thought you all might enjoy seeing how my Facebook artist friend, Rusty Jones is using the power of YouTube. Rusty created this great little video to promote and market his November one-man art show. He published it on his blog, Youtube, Facebook, Metacafe, Yahoo video and BlipTV.
The show is entitled, 35 ON 35 – “A series of 35 plein air paintings by Rusty Jones depicting life along Interstate Highway 35 from Dallas to San Antonio.”
Enjoy…
Thanks for sharing my video Lori. It is a grand experiment I am sharing with my gallery, Riverbend Fine Art. We are using social media to promote the show in addition to traditional press releases to media outlets. It has been quite the learning experience. Now that we have put out the word here in July, the question becomes how to keep it going until the show in November. I may be talking to you more for some helpful hints. Thanks again. Love your blog.
Hey Rusty, I really enjoyed your video and am happy to share it with others. I think it is wonderful that your gallery is getting involved with using YouTube as a way to promote your art show. Like Alyson stated in this thread of comments, it is be interesting to see what your stats are and how this video helps.
Good luck and keep in touch!
Lori
PS. I would love to check back with you in November and see how this video helped your art marketing for the show!
That’s a great video, Lori. I hope he tracks his stats. It would be really nice to hear what success comes from this video.
I love it that he’s doing it NOW instead of in October!
Hi Alyson. Thanks for stopping by and commenting again. That was my first impression when I read that Rusty’s show was not until Novemeber – he has a lot of time to see how this video benefits his show. I will check back with Rusty after his art opening and do a follow-up post!

Hi Lori,
Love following you. ALways great advice and tips. Just made a video of my last show in case you want to see. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_dPD6Oah5I
