Marketing for Artists: Social Media 101 – Sharing Your Work with the World
You were not given your creativity to hide it. So many talented artists quietly create beautiful workā¦ yet never share it beyond their immediate circle. Not because they donāt careābut because technology feels intimidating, self-promotion feels uncomfortable, and the idea of āmarketingā can feel completely out of alignment with a creative soul. This gentle, beginner-friendly workshop is here to change that! In this class, Iāll walk you step-by-step through setting up simple social media accounts (Facebook and Instagram), connecting them together, and learning how to share your art in a way that feels authentic, natural, and true to who you are. Weāll focus on showcasing not just your finished pieces, but the heart, process, and story behind themābecause people donāt just connect with art, they connect with the artist. Weāll also talk about the emotional side of sharing: ā¢ The fear of being āseenā ā¢ Feeling awkward about posting ā¢ The disappointment when something doesnāt sell ā¢ The belief that you shouldnāt āput yourself out thereā This is not about becoming famous or chasing trends. This is about honoring your gifts, letting your work be witnessed, and giving others the opportunity to connect with what you create. Youāll leave with: ā A Facebook and Instagram account set up and linked ā A simple understanding of what to post (and when) ā Easy photo tips using just your phone ā Caption templates you can reuse again and again ā A renewed confidence in sharing your art with the world You donāt have to be tech-savvy. You donāt have to be perfect. You just have to be willing to take one small step forward! Your art matters... and someone out there is waiting to see it. Attendees, please bring: your phone, tablet or laptop (if possible!) Otherwise there will be handouts for you to implement these steps at your home computer.
