Once an artist has been chosen, and the Portfolio Artist agrees to the collaboration, Tia Sunshine supports the building of a mutually beneficial relationship based her knowledge of the needs of the business and the availability of the artist.

Portfolio Artists engage with and share your marketing. Events, including opening receptions, can be planned to bring new faces in and show your existing clients your dedication to community.
Is Aligned Exhibits Right for My Business?
Do you have walls or shelf space?
Most of the Sunshine Align Artist Members are 2D artist with artwork that hangs on the wall. A couple of our artists create 3D artwork, including functional pottery.
Do you have clients who visit?
Our artists are looking for visibility and sales. We believe that by matching an artist with your business personality, your clients will naturally be the right audience for the artist.
Do you want to create relationships with your clients?
A great way to make a connection to your clients is to talk to them about the artwork and artist you are hosting! If your client buys an artwork exhibited in your business, they are taking home a memory of your business.
Are you on Instagram and/or Facebook?
Your hosted artist will both like & share your social media posts and collaborate on posts to increase your reach and visibility.
