We can now alert visitors to our posts about famous/favourite artists so that gives more exposure.

Do you have any more ideas about exposure. I still need your ideas, please.

What would help you with exposure for your art?

Exposure is important because the more your art is seen, the more followers you will attract and, in turn, that brings more upvotes and income for you.

We have the Steemit Art Centre Gallery running now. There room for everyone.

Please use the Gallery and tell me any more ideas you have that might benefit us.

Here is information about using the Steemit Art Centre Gallery:

We are making a gallery of our artwork.

Any artists who want to display their work in the Steemit Art Centre Galley should make their own post with the artwork they want to display then drop a link here like you do in Artstorm. That will enable me to display it. You can display two pieces of artwork every 7 days.

It also means you get income from your own post.

Here is a new artwork from the contest publicising king, @becometheartist:

I've added a new section where we can give exposure to articles we write about our favourite artists. Just drop a link to your post in the replies section below and I will add a summary, link to the full post and image.

@minnaloushe is sharing this article she has written.

@minnaloushe says, 'I have started writing about the brilliant sculptor, Anton Smit, who has a stunning sculpture park near Bronkhortspruit, Mumalanga, South Africa. My experience was so overwhelming that I have decided to post several articles about him. This was the first post, and I plan to do the rest over the next few weeks.'
