I look forward to a new venue that is just for artists and collectors/buyers of art.

All the groups I am in complain about it but we continue to go there because everyone has convinced us it is needed. I don’t believe it makes a bit of difference to my work other then the waste of time we devote to it and the stress of using it and seeing no results.

We have really been taken for a ride with social media, spending time and money trying to beat their system. We were and still are fools to have big companies convince us that they were an absolute must in order to get sales of your artwork. I would have left IG years ago when they changed the algorithm on me. However galleries insist you be on IG and that is the only reason I have stayed. The time and effort I spend creating posts and liking others on IG has been a waste of my time I feel. And FB is even worse. I don’t even post there anymore, just let my IG post go there. Life is difficult for artists today because of everything we have to provide and social media takes up too much time with very few rewards for the time spent.
