Crafting a Portfolio for Licensing Your Art

J’Net Smith, owner of All Art Licensing, recently featured an article on “5 Top Portfolio Tips for Art Licensors.” In the article, she shares her tips on the size of the portfolio, how to organize the portfolio by theme and create flow from piece to piece, and how to select work for an online portfolio. She advises artists to select work that fully represents their style while being relevant to the current market. She also recommends that the work be organized keeping in mind how manufacturers approach their collections so as to minimize frustration when wading through a portfolio.

Smith recently completed a series of new classes on Art Licensing Essentials, Collections and Presentations, Marketing and Sales Techniques, Negotiations and Contracts, and PR and Promotion Essentials. While the live classes concluded in mid-November, she’s offering two classes as downloadable audios with over 70 slides, details, and a presentation. The classes, “Art Licensing Essentials — Creating Collections, Presentations and Websites” and “Developing Marketable Art Licensing Portfolios that Sell!” can be purchased from the All Art Licensing website. Smith will be offering new classes in 2014 — we’ll keep you posted on her schedule.
