Who Should Use Facebook?

almost everyone is on Facebook. Is good and supportive for small businesses too. It's the most popular platform for seniors too.

Also, remember about losing your copyrights with Facebook.  Good for sharing content and advertising.

How to exhibit your work in the gallery?

Image
Every artist dreams of showing his works live to the general public. How to do it? The easiest way is to rent galleries at your own expense and display your works. However, the cost of renting a gallery may be surprising. Prices depending on location, rental date and capacity of guests in central London start from £ 60 to £ 10k per day.

 Pieter Hugo - Pieter is quite a young artist, in my opinion, his presence on Instagram is much more thoughtful than on his personal website. The number of people watching this artist is not impressive, but it certainly allows him to reach the crowd of his regular fans. And keep them informed about his activities. Although Pieter doesn't post too often or very regularly. Sometimes it is 1 post a week, sometimes several a week, this intensity allows him to keep the number of followers at 20k +. #pieterhugo His example shows that contact with his 'fans' is very important. And some kind of interaction through social media gives a feeling of closeness with the artist. For example, Pieter Hugo informs about his exhibition in Paris in the post below.
