Feature: And The Nominees Are... BEST SHOW ART

This year the BROADWAY WORLD AWARDS for the New York City Cabaret industry is introducing many new categories for fans and audiences to vote on. It takes a lot of people to make a successful nightclub act, and it's time everyone got to have a little recognition for their artistry and efforts. One of those new categories is for the talented artists who get the attention of potential audience members at the shows of the performers who fill the stages of the city.

Show Art is such an important part of the process of having a successful club act. There are postcards to mail out or display in the clubs, posters that hang outside the clubs, even advertising in magazines and on websites, if the artist can afford it. You have to have show art that is attractive, eye-catching, not too busy, not amateurish, elegant, festive, sophisticated - it all depends on what you are trying to sell. This is the arts, but it's also a business, and you have a product to sell: You. Your show. Your brand, if you will. Well, this is where it starts.
