Red Bull SkateSpace will blend art and skateboarding to create unique terrain where the innovation of skateboarders can truly flourish.

Are you on the ArtStack?

May 10, 2013 By 1 Comment

blogArtStack

ArtStack is the social media platform for art, where everyone can share and engage with art they love. ArtStack makes it easy to share art you make and remember art you love. Artists, curators and gallerists use it to reach new audiences, keep fans engaged, and discover new works through their friends and the people they follow.

The community includes some of today’s most interesting artists, curators, collectors, journalists and art enthusiasts globally – it’s still in invitation-beta, but you can sign up by clicking here: http://theartstack.com/users/signup/mariekazalia

Adding your work on ArtStack and sharing art you love on your ArtStack profile means that people can easily find your work through their friends and other people who like your work – rather than having to search for your website, which often means that people already need to know your work.

ArtStack enables anyone to engage with the world’s most exciting art and discover work by leading emerging and established artists and works. The site applies the concept of social following to art, so all the works by an artist are all on a single page, you see when a new work by an artist you like is added, and your audience can promote your work to their friends and followers. It simple to make your own online collections and see your work alongside that of artists you admire – and you can also use it to gauge how your works resonate with your audience.

Using ArtStack is simple: people browse and add images to their ‘Stack’ of art to create their own personal art profile; you can follow anyone on the platform to see the art they like and discover new works. To get the most out of the site, add your own works and also stack art by artists you like. Invite friends (they’ll follow you when they sign up) and ask them to stack your works, so that their friends will see your work. Like any social media, space out your activity, so add a few artworks or stack regularly every few days to be present.

You can sign up on the website here: http://theartstack.com/users/signup/mariekazalia

There are also free iPhone and Android apps – you can download them and start stacking directly!
