The Best Social Networks for Artists
Increasingly, artists are using social networks to share work and link up with other like-minded creative people. There has been an explosion of social networks for artists on the Web lately; some are more user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing than others. The following sites are some of the best art-focused social networks out there. Let us know if you know of others.
Humblevoice.com
Humble Voice is a virtual artistic space for “artists and those who appreciate them.” Members of the Humble Voice network can post music, videos, photography, poetry, and other art. The quality on this network is excellent: you are sure to come across astounding work every time you browse.
MyArtInfo.com
My Art Info has been called the Facebook of the artist community. This well designed site allows artists to post profiles and portfolios, and the community votes on the best artist in each category. The site also provides resources for work and education.
Teapotters
Teapotters is a Youtube-like site for 3-D graphic art. You can search the site for the best 3-D models, read others’ comments, and post your own work.
Threadless.com
Want to see your art worn on a T-shirt? A haven for hipsters and artists, Threadless collects submissions for T-shirt designs from artists, and then the online community votes on the designs. The best designs are accepted to be printed on T-shirts and sold on the Threadless online catalogue.
Flickr.com
Although the photo-sharing site Flickr wasn’t designed for artists, it has become a great place to post not only photography but also graphic design and other artwork.
