"Seeing Eye to Eye"

Arts  Campus

This new blog has been created with my students at Rochester Institute of Technology in mind – first and foremost.  The blog is meant to be a meeting place where my students can present their artwork and commentary to a much broader international audience.  For students who already have an online presence this blog will focus on one fact: Art Means Business!  To approach a wider public, students must be prepared and open to questions with an ability to respond and act according to best business practices.  My role as advisor will be to set the ball in motion and help organize my art students with tools that will help them succeed.

In the coming weeks we will see examples of student artwork that may be offered for sale, we will post commentary on that work, and use this blog as a sounding board for an interested and informed public.  We encourage interaction with the readership, and we appreciate your support.

My contribution to this blog will be as an advisor, and organizer.  Students will also have a role to provide imagery and commentary.  We use this blog as a testing ground for concepts about art marketing and much more.  Over the past dozen years I have been the faculty member  from the School of Art who has lead the Business Practices for Fine Artists class, and this class is for undergrads and grads on the campus of Rochester Institute of Technology, in Rochester, New York.
