NEW ARTISTS
Twelve new artists have joined us for the month of September, 2008. We have made a decision to solicit fewer artists as economic conditions necessitate a greater marketing influence on those artists who we currently have.

NEW GALLERIES
Four new art galleries are negotiating with one or more of our artists.

JOINT VENTURE
Yajnavalka (www.Yajnavalka.com), a publishing house in Houston, Texas is working with many of our artists. It is Artisan Directs belief that if you never plan on marketing open edition prints, posters or attempting to license your art, then Yajnavalka fills an important niche.

ART SHOWS
We still have one spot open for Art Expo—NYC. Even though the art market is quiet, shows do give you needed exposure and contact with galleries.

Art Shows
Patricia Brintle has been hired as art show coordinator. She will be at each show coordinating the hanging and selling of the art.
