You may be already be familiar with Serbin Communications. They produce and distribute a variety of print and web marketing resources for artists, including the annual Medical Illustration Source Book, which they publish for the Association of Medical Illustrators.

The GNSI program will consist of many marketing tools, include a custom catalog that the GNSI will be publishing in October 2013.

This 2013 GNSI marketing program is open only to GNSI and Science-Art.Com members. Each participating artist will receive:

.       A two-page spread in the Science Art Catalog -- an important print vehicle to drive traffic to the Science-Art.com website and to your personal website (distributed October 2013 to a targeted mailing list of science illustration buyers) ($1250 value)

We worked very hard to make this set of services as inexpensive as possible. Add up the value of the services listed above- we squeezed hard!) We are very excited about this opportunity, as it will help send new business to our members, brand the GNSI and deliver valuable traffic to the Science-Art.com website. It is our hope that this program will become an annual event for the GNSI.
