— by Jon Lybrook, Lead Printmaker & Owner, Intaglio Editions LLCI used to do alot of summer and holiday art fairs about 10 years ago, but stopped due to the amount of work I was doing with other artists, photographers, and printmakers. That plus internet marketing and consulting work meant there just wasn’t time. We continue to produce custom, high-quality intaglio plates and prints for photographers, printmakers and other small businesses world-wide, but not like we were in the early 2000s. |
The current state of the economy here in the United States has me considering showing my own work, and that of the artists I contract with, at summer art shows again. If you are a traditional intaglio printmaker like me, perhaps you’ve been considering the same. If you are participating in art fairs already, you know summer is a busy and back-breaking time for many artists who registered for art shows back in April, when most submissions deadlines end. The good news is, you have plenty of time to start preparing for the summer art shows happening in 2026! |
Researching, preparing, and showing at quality outdoor art festivals can take alot of time, planning, hard work, and money, but if they are effective for you, and you are committed to doing them every year, they are an excellent way to gain a new, growing audience of fans, supporters, and repeat buyers. |

Historical Photogravure Prints Online in High Resolution
Some of the most famous and well documented photogravure prints in the world of art are now available in high-resolution digital images on The Metropolitian Museum of Art’s website free of charge:
http://www.metmuseum.org/collection/the-collection-online/search?ft=photogravure&ao=on&noqs=true
Photogravure work by period photographers Alfred Stieglitz, Eadweard Muybridge, Josef Maria Eder and Man Ray, among others are available for viewing at various magnification levels and various licensing. Some of the licensing allows free use of the high resolution artwork for non-commercial purposes. With this kind of online service you can see the work better at your computer than in the museum (without proper access)! While no substitute for proper curatorial studies, it provides an unprecedented level of access to the Met’s collection and for that, we at Intaglio Editions give them a Tip of the Bandana.
What a fabulous service to the aging and physically handicapped scholars, printmakers, and art lovers who wish to view the work. Now they can as never before! Finally public art and performances spaces have begun to see the web as an ally, not an enemy to subscriptions and ticket sales! The advent of sports television has not hurt attendance at live sporting events one bit. Let’s hope the same can be said for the marketing of art events.
