“Philadelphia artists like me are thriving in their careers by using a creative approaches to marketing their artwork and funding their projects. I am leveraging the popularity of the well-established Philadelphia Open Studio Tours program to bring new audiences to Twenty-Two Gallery. I have designed special POST weekend events, all free and open to the public. Your audience will want to know!

I used Kickstarter for two successful fundraising and client-base-building campaigns in 2013 and 2014. The woodcut that I am offering at the business card drawing is one of my 2014 Kickstarter “rewards”. Most artists cannot depend on just gallery sales to make a sustainable living as an artist.   Most artists need to think outside-the-box to create opportunities for themselves.   I think it would make a great segment. Thanks for your consideration!” – Andrea Krupp

“Visit during POST Weekend, October 11 and 12, and and receive special discounts on every piece in Andrea Krupp‘s exhibition. Take $50 off framed artwork over $300, $20 off framed artwork under $300.
