Email Newsletters

Email newsletters, where you can post your own information on exhibitions or other events you are taking part in, can be a cheap and easy way to publicise your practice.  There are many with a London focus, and some are also concerned with only one media or type of opportunity or event.  Most on this page are free to join and to receive emails from.

Remember also that emails are easy to send, and easy to delete without reading as well.
