Are you an aspiring artist that wants to get your art out into the world? Then there is no place better than Instagram: a free and easy to use site that displays your art all in one place. Your page will act as a hub to attract people and potential clients, whilst allowing you to express yourself on your own terms. With Instagram, you are not constrained. In this article, we will explore how to start an art page on Instagram and why it could benefit you as an artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create A Business Account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So you\u2019ve downloaded Instagram and are ready to create your own page dedicated to your art. Instagram for artists opens up a whole new world of possibilities. The first step is to create a business account on Instagram. A business account differs from a normal Instagram account as you can add further details and contact information that makes the page easier to navigate. You can add your email address or number. The perfect feature if you offer custom or commissioned artwork. You can also add an address – ideal if you have your own gallery or shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose The Perfect Name<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Successful<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How to start an art page on Instagram? It all starts with your unique \u201c@\u201d. It is crucial that you decide on the perfect page name. This name doesn\u2019t have to be your name, but that is always a good place to start. We recommend choosing something catchy and easy to remember. Keep it short and sweet, avoiding too many numbers and special characters. This makes it easier for people to find you and remember you. Of course, your art will speak for itself but it doesn\u2019t hurt to accompany it with your own brand. So get creative and select an \u201c@\u201d that represents you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Write A Snappy Bio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The next step is writing your Instagram bio. This is where you can add a brief summary of you or your art and add any links you may have. Your bio acts as a little introduction to your new page. While you want to give a warm and welcoming introduction, keep it short and informative. You want to keep it professional but still remain faithful to yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend a brief introduction to you and your art. Mention the type of art you produce, any links you may have or even your own hashtag. This is the perfect place to promote your website or store. As it is located right at the top of the page, people are more likely to see and click on these links. It is great for getting people to engage as well as drawing attention to other areas you may wish to promote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get Posting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start posting your art to gain traction and create the equivalent of a virtual portfolio. We recommend that you post at least once a day, whether this is through a grid post or on stories. But remember that quality is better than quantity. So if you have no new content to post, don\u2019t ruin your feed with an obvious filler post, allow it to motivate you to create more content. Posts can include behind the scenes shots and the process of creating your beautiful art. Either way, your audience will appreciate the thrilling content, and so will the Instagram algorithm. It’s never been easier to post digital art on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
