More About Prepaid Listings and the Artist's Virtual Lightbox

Prepaid listings allow barebrush to continue our monthly National Press Release program (through MMD Newswire). All artists who are in the calendar are mentioned by name in the national press release that goes out on the internet plus by fax and email to over 5,000 art and media professionals in the US. In addition, the prepaid listings also allow barebrush continue the cash prizes for the Curator's Choice Awards.

The Artist's Virtual Lightbox is a new innovation at barebrush. It allows your viewers to concentrate on your art and the details of your art. When you purchase listings, all of your work active in the "Art Log" appears in the lightbox. When you add new work, you can send this same link to your friends, colleagues, or collectors. They can add your lightbox to their favorites and always get back to them. You will be able to easily tell them when you've added new work to barebrush and the location of the pieces in the lightbox. They will also get an easy way to refresh their memories of your previous work.

In addition, for people who discover your art at barebrush, your name is listed in the Artist's Index with an active link to your lightbox. Prepaid Listings give you the convenience of a two-month listing period and of entering into multiple calendar contests automatically. Also, the judging is prepared for each curator by arranging the images in the order of the most page clicks, so the longer an image is on barebrush.com, the more clicks it can accumulate and therefore the closer it can be to the top of the list when the curator reviews the art.

When you buy listings, barebrush keeps track of your listing balance -- how many you have bought, how many you have used and how many you have left. You do not have to use them all at the same time or for the same contests.

Listings last 60 days and are automatically eligible for 2 calendar contests. When you buy $10 worth of listings (the minimum you can buy), you get 10 listings -- the equivalent of 50 cents per month per listing. When you buy $25 worth of Extended Listings, you get 30 listings -- saving 20% -- 40 cents per month per listing, even better. During some promotional periods, extended listings last even longer, 90 days (3 calendar contests) -- work listed or renewed during promotional periods is even more cost effective for the artist or dealer.

Listings are renewable (at your option). When your listing expires in the 'Art Log,' it will be automatically renewed, retaining your original BB file numbers and going to the top of the 'Art Log' and to the front page of barebrush. You will receive a new accounting of your listing balance.

Your art appears to the public for a fresh, new view -- is entered into the new calendar contests and you don't have to do any work at all. Your extended listing balance is reduced and you get a confirmation of the extension and your balance. If you don't want a particular piece renewed, just let us know.
