We are changing things up here at Women in Art 278.
First, have you noticed the new design for our website? We unveiled to new design a couple of weeks ago. We hope you find it easy to maneuver and find it visually appealing. We love it – but of course, we’ re biased.( haha)
Secondly, we are expanding on the“ Events” tab on our Facebook page. We believe it’ s important for artists to support artists. What’ s better than seeing if there is an art exhibit or call to artists in your area of the globe?
Art shows are awesome for a multitude of reasons. First of all, it’ s a fun excuse to get out of the house and mingle with like-minded people( artists!!). Secondly, you may just meet an artist who inspires you or leaves you speechless. There are so many genres of art from fine art to performance art, contemporary art and other visual arts that have an ability to make our minds see things in new ways. So, consider art shows food for thought and nourishment for the soul. Additionally, as you network, you may learn about additional showcasing opportunities. You may have a new idea for a project. Seriously, the ways art shows make my mind go a mile a minute is such a wonderful feeling. Of course, we all react differently – one of the perks of art – so, go and see how it works for you!
If you have an art show, call to artists or something of the sort that’ s an event on Facebook, share it with us so we can share it with our community. Our goal is to offer artists and art lovers an opportunity to explore their local art communities while also sharing it with our international community.
I travel often and sometimes I don’ t know what’ s going on in the city where I’ m traveling. So, the events feed on our Facebook page may help people realize that there are cool things where they are traveling.
That’ s what’ s new with us. What’ s new with you?
