How do I get started?
Create your username, add your artspan website link to your profile, and start uploading!
The best way to start learning is to simply start somewhere.
Take quality photos of your art head-on & make sure not to use angles that distort the image. Utilize good lighting without shadows to show the art as it’s truly meant to be seen. Take multiple photos of the same artwork, then choose the best and delete the rest!

What About Hashtags? What are they?
The average Instagram user has up to ten hashtags in their post. A hashtag, simply put, can be thought of as its own magazine, or gallery. People use them to become discoverable to users who aren’t already following them. As an example, let’s use the hashtag #Aperture. It’s a popular magazine within the photo community and therefor utilized by hundreds of thousands of photographers who want to share their work. Look at the hashtags other artists are using. Click on them to research what works best with your artwork. Is it a #fineartpainting, or is it better suited toward #abstractart_daily? Try to steer clear of generic hashtags like #art or #pretty and try to use unique hashtags that have under a million posts so that you don’t get lost in the recent hashtag gallery. Rotate your hashtags with every post so that your posts stay fresh and don’t seem like spam to other users and the Instagram algorithm.
