Social media

As an artist, social media can be a vital vehicle for marketing, selling, and sharing your work. It isn’t a prerequisite, but is definitely recommended, even if you only use one platform! Using the internet in this way also allows for great inclusivity in your practice; you can reach a wider audience by allowing people to participate from their homes, on their phones, and from anywhere in the world.

Depending on your practice – what art forms you favour, how you capture it, and how you want to share that – some social media platforms may be better suited to you than others. For most artists, though, Instagram is a very good place to start.
