Smart Sustainable Social Media To Grow Your Audience Not Your Screen Time

If you’re not getting the results you want, or you're frustrated with social media marketing, it’s time for a new approach.
Learn what works for artists on Instagram in 2022 and beyond, including how to grow an authentic audience for your art, create content quickly, and build a social media presence that is supportive and sustainable, online and in real life. Harness the power of Instagram on your own terms, to create better buyers of your art, and build habits that grow your ‘gram without losing your creative flow.
In addition to building your own strategy, this workshop will cover the essentials of:
- Your bio and grid
- Hashtags

- Photos, stories, reels - how they work in 2022, and why each one is useful
- Why going viral isn’t great(and when it might be)
- Exclusive tips from professional artists with thriving social media accounts
- What’s truly worth your time as an artist on Instagram
You can grow your audience without getting lost in the scroll, and share your art online without spending all day on your phone. It’s not about getting a million followers or a viral video. It’s about creating a space that supports your creative practice and attracts real-world investment in your art. There is a better way, and this workshop provides a framework for working artists to make Instagram a useful and sustainable part of a creative practice.
