Etiquette for Marketing Artist Books: 

A Conversation with

Catherine Alice Michaelis

Wednesday April 6 from 4:00-5:30 pm (Pacific Coast Time)

Location:  ZOOM

Registration is required (Free)

Open to PSBA members and non-members


The Conversation:  As book artists, we all have questions about how to market our work.  In this conversation with Catherine Alice Michaelis, we discuss the important questions.  How to get your work  out there for people to see it and attract potential collectors?   What are the strategies you can use?  Should you hire an agent to represent you?  How do you price your work?  If you market your own work, how do you approach a collector?  What are the do's and don'ts?  Catherine Alice Michaelis has years of experience making and selling her artist books.  She also has experience working on the other side with collectors.  She has seen firsthand the common mistakes artists make.  So she is the perfect person to get this conversation started.  We hope you will join us and share your experiences with us.

About the speaker:  Catherine Alice Michaelis (she/her) is the proprietor of Mayday Press and the Associate Director of thee Cynthia Sears Artist’s Book Collection.  As an artist, she has been exploring what an artist book can be for over 30 years. She works with antique printing presses, moveable type, and any printable medium she finds, including: paper, fabric, film, magnets, and veneer to summon a dialog with Nature. When she isn’t printing, she’s sewing unique works on fabrics that more intimately explore gender, ageism, and memory loss. Catherine pushes her creative practice through writing, video poetry, direct animation, and direct dyeing from plants.

Collaborating and participating in community is part of Catherine’s practice. She works with scientists, writers, visual artists, and musicians to make edition print work. She’s responded to crowd sourced calls for participation, been invited by printing institutions to participate in collective works, and organized invitational print sets like Stack the Deck: 18 Artists Mark the Cards for Women’s Health & Healing. Catherine has curated national and international artist book shows in the Pacific Northwest and created programming around them, most recently at Bainbridge Island Museum of Art. Bringing other artists forward and building community is something she believes in and does.
