FASO has a long standing reputation of providing channels and support to  help to promote artist's artwork. Keeping in stride with our reputation, we are excited to announce the rollout of a new feature. Starting October 1, 2025, all participants submitting entries to the monthly BoldBrush contest will have the option to grant FASO permission to sell prints of their contest entries through the contest entry portal. The prints will be processed through the FASO Pictorem Gallery. 

When a print order is placed, Pictorem will take care of the entire process, including printing, finishing, and shipping. While framing options are available in North America, Pictorem will also ship print orders internationally, rolled in shipping tubes. 

Pricing will vary based on size, format, and framing, and will be consistent with other print-on-demand offerings. Once printing costs and transaction fees are deducted, sales will be split 60% to the artist and 40% to FASO. This structure is in line with standard gallery agreements and ensures artists receive the majority of the proceeds.

Participation is completely voluntary and won't affect contest results. It's simply another way FASO is working to give artists more opportunities to showcase and sell their work.

Join us for a free, artist-focused webinar! We have a New Interactive Format — No set topics. No lectures. Just your questions about ART, CREATIVITY, and MARKETING, answered LIVE by our featured guest BoldBrush Master Signature artists Scott Burdick and Susan Lyon and the BoldBrush marketing team.

This webinar is open to all artists!

We are excited to announce this important update that will enhance our customer’s experience with FASO. We have created a helpful new tool for our members called, “The FASO Member Handbook”. The handbook is a crucial introduction to FASO and is loaded with helpful information; such as getting started info, details about FASO’s services, member benefits, marketing and guidelines that reflect our commitment to providing the best possible support to our members. 

If you have activated your FASO account to become a paying member, this great new resource can be found in the links at the very top of your FASO control panel. 

The new FASO Handbook will be updated regularly as things change. On the cover you will notice a version number. If you should have questions about the contents it will be helpful to include this version number in your inquiry.

FASO is pleased to announce to addition of a feature to enhance your experience when you add subscribers to your newsletter using the batch feature or upload them from a .CSV (comma separated value) file. It is now possible to assign newsletter segments during the batch and .CSV upload. This handy addition will save you a considerable amount of time if you have a significant number of subscribers and you wish to segment your list. 

In your control panel click the Newsletter button (dragonfly icon) and then click Subscribers in the left sidebar menu. Once you are in your Subscriber list area, click the Add Subscriber button and select Import Subscribers.

You will have the option to click on the General tab to copy and paste or enter names for batch addition or the Import CSV tab to upload a .CSV file. The process to assign segments is the same for either option. Where you see Segment, simply click in the corresponding field and you will see the drop down menu populate with all of the existing segments that are available. This includes system generated segments as well as custom segments you have created. Select the segment(s) you wish to assign. It is possible to assign multiple segments at one time. 

An additional option is if you want to add a Source to the Subscribers as you add/upload them. The source could be from an exhibit, event, or perhaps a class or workshop as examples. To add the source note simple enter the text you wish to serve as the source reminder. 

Once you take these simple steps, you can click the terms box and click the button to go to the next steps and follow the remaining prompts to finish the batch and/or .CSV upload.
