Supporting Unknown Artists

Anonymous but Mighty

As an artist big or small, it’s important to connect in the industry! We recommend connecting with your fellow creators to not only network as an artist, but also see what the community is up to. This can help you keep up with the trends and find inspiration in your daily life for new ideas! Unknown artists also can use all the social media assistance they can get, and if you can take a moment to remember your struggle as a beginner artist to make it out there, lend a hand doing a collaboration or reposting their work to your story. They are most likely very active and eager to work with others, so give them a shot - being small just means they haven’t had their big break yet!

Friends till the End

Supporting other artists can seem daunting when you are worried about prices and affordability, the key is finding fun, free, ways to be each other’s fans! The internet, and social media specifically, provides the option to support people without breaking the bank. Doing little collaborations for a digital exhibition, interviews, collaborative projects, even a repost of their work on your story can be an act of service!

Stay Connected

The most important thing when you are supporting unknown artists is keeping in touch with them! You never know how their work could integrate with your own and if you can aid each other in the similar journey, so be a friend! Stay connected, commenting every once in a while, on their posts or reposting something that resonates with you. It’s important to foster these connections, not only for future networking, but for genuine friendships.
