Instagram and LinkedIn are effective tools for artist. Optimize your profile with a clear bio, professional photo, post consistent high-quality content, and engage with your audience and other artists. Share your creative process and stories behind your art. Professional images and videos (especially Reels), and strategically use a limited number of relevant hashtags. We will use a computer to display breakdown, activities and goals of workshop on a large screen. We will show examples of successful Instagram and LinkedIn accounts. We will have a discussion on how to use best practices. Each participant will receive a printout of this breakdown and other pertinent information.
