The best one I've come up with so far is the Christmas Home Tour. I think many cities have these, at least it is popular in many suburbs in Cleveland. Pick the richest city. My only cost was to donate a portrait and even that brought me a commission of the dog. I just learned that over 1500 people walked through the eight homes. Pretty fun way to get 1500 people to actually see your work up close and personal. I have received three calls of interest so far, but no signed contract yet. So I don't know as yet, how this may pay off.
I would love to hear other artists' ideas for marketing.
