#1 It’s visual!

Out of all social media, Instagram is the most widely used, image-centered platform. For many users, scrolling the picture feed is the first thing they do when they get up in the morning and the last thing they do before falling asleep. Users scroll the feed several times a day. They like, comment and connect with others.

Studies show that the brain registers visual messages faster and remembers them better than just text. Most importantly, however, it triggers more emotions! By putting your work of art online, followers from all around the world can see your art and engage actively with you as an artist. Millions of users look for beautiful or inspiring images every second. What better place to display your artworks?
