If you are a new or seasoned sports artist looking for ways to sell and promote your artwork, you may benefit from working with an agent. DGW Enterprises (dba SportsOnCanvas.com), located in the Washington, DC area, is a sports artist representative firm that works with sports artist, fine artist and clients on a National level. Our agency solicits work from advertising agencies, publishers, galleries, professional sports franchises, colleges and universities, private collectors and major corporations from across the Country. Through our traditional marketing efforts and web site commerce, (SportsOnCanvas.com) we sell art and seek commissions and assignments for our artist while striving to meet the needs of our clients.
 

Many artist find that leaving promotions to an agent or representative allows them more time for the origination and creation of their art. In exchange for promoting your career and selling your art, we receive a percentage of sales. While are contracts are different, we generally offer the following base services to our artist:
 

• We place your art on our web site (SportsOnCanvas.com)

• We contact potential clients such as, art collectors, publishers, sports franchises, galleries and universities on your behalf

• We can aid in the writing and development of your Biography
  We may publish your art in house 

• We negotiate contracts, handle billing and collect payments on your behalf

• We work with our artist to bring their portfolio up-to-speed

• We present your work at trade and industry shows

• We work with our artist to help them create the most appropriate images for their target market
   

One of the big advantages of working with an agent is that your work samples and portfolio can be published and presented as part of a group promotion. Group promotions tend to have more impact than individual presentations. It is more difficult for an individual artist to achieve the same level of awareness on their own.
