FEATURED ARTISTS:
We asked each artist to respond to the following question: In today's digital age, how do you get the word out about your work?

Abstract Painter

"Social media is unavoidable in today’s world if you want to stay in the 'art game.' I put myself out there mostly through my website and Instagram. I don’t particularly love the idea of consuming art on a phone. It’s much too small, and there is something so visceral about standing in front of a great piece of art. One thing I do love about Instagram is that I’ll constantly scroll through art posts and save everything that catches my eye. This way I can go back later and ask myself what it is that makes the work appealing to me. It’s a way to discover myself and challenge myself to do more of what I enjoy seeing. I like the way Robert Henri states it in one of my favorite books The Art Spirit. Henri says, 'Each genius differs only from the mass in that he has found every freedom for his greatness.' I’m constantly in search of that freedom and that greatness."

Jeffrey Friedkin
Fine Art Photographer
​
​"Various galleries in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Westchester and Saugerties have featured my work resulting in exposure and sales. My work has also been included in various online and international galleries, plus Artsy, Fine Art America and Instagram. The challenges to stand out from the millions of photos put out each day online are overwhelming, but so are the opportunities. Where else can one of your photos go viral and be seen by thousands of people overnight? There is a lot of mundane and poor-quality work online. If your work is good, hopefully the right eyes will eventually see it. The challenge is to continually grow and improve your work and never leave mediocre work online since that may be what you’re judged on."

"I use Facebook, Instagram, Constant Contact, word of mouth, and as many exhibitions as I can possibly get into. I am constantly using social media to reach out to the world. It’s an overwhelming task and hard to stay on top of, but I'm glad the technology has evolved to where it is now possible to share and receive information in a moment’s notice. I am always interested and open to talking with others, sharing ideas, and looking for ways to improve life on this planet for everyone."

"I usually get the word out about my exhibitions and activities through social media. I use Facebook, Instagram, my website, email, messaging, word of mouth, and postcards." 
Picture
Avrum Weiss, Ph.D.
Psychotherapist & Author

​(Photo Credit: Julia Curran Photography)
"I have always been averse to marketing my work on social media. This is because self-promotion is uncomfortable for me and the nature of the medium limits the depth that an author can go into in explaining their ideas. For me, a helpful shift has been to understand the goal of disseminating these ideas because they help people in their lives. I can reach so many more readers on social media than I can through my books. I develop the concepts to whatever extent I like in my books, and that work is available for readers who want to know more."
