I don't disagree with Ciao's advice.
But somehow networking is abit organic, at least to me. But it does help to be happily part of multiple, different social groups..and for selling art --beyond the stand at the farmer's market/art show or part of an art studio tour (mimitabby, Seattle must have this, like Vancouver, etc.?)

Mimit, have you thought of turning some of your paintings into cards? Like a packet of cycling cards with different designs...maybe get TE estrogen to sell them?? I recently went to a b-day party for a friend who turned 50, a long-time cyclist and advocate. the card from both of us was a print of a painting...fish cycling a bike..we were the only friends that gave him a card that was bike-related...and he was happy to receive it.

For some of us who have hubby, partners and friends who cycle alot like ourselves, I'm always looking for a card that features a bike. of course, the latest one I'm giving to dearie, is not bike related this year which is unusual from me..but it is a card that I painted in a jiffy..abstract mountain, etc.
