Getting your Artwork Discovered

The internet is a great place to show off your artistic creations. There are millions of art appreciators, all of which appreciate art in their own unique ways. That makes the internet like the world's biggest museum/art gallery. The problem is, there is so much art online, where do you start to show off your own? You want to be discovered as an artist, but unless you are already famous it is next to impossible to get noticed. Here are some ways to find the audience you deserve:


  • Find an Online Art Gallery Related to your Specific Form of Art
    There are some websites which will allow you to post samples of your specific medium. For example, if you are a painter, search for a website which will display amateur and professional paintings. If you are a musician, find a website that will show clips of your music. Even Youtube can be a good place to start.
  • Find your Own Audience on Fireviews
    Fireviews lets you get viewed until you find exactly the right kind of person. By posting pictures or videos of your artwork on Fireviews you can get helpful feedback from a lot of people very quickly. Soon enough, you will be able to find true appreciators of your artwork.
  • Create a Social Network "Fan Page"
    By creating a Fan Page on Facebook or a similar social network site, you can reach new fans and communicate with existing ones. This allows you to encourage your supporters to spread the word about your creations.
