For artists and art appreciators, what’s one of the biggest advantages of the internet? Being able to view amazing artwork from across the globe without leaving your house! Of course it’s always a great experience to actually visit galleries and museums but we can’t always do that, especially when an exhibit we’d love to see is taking place in another state or country, so enter ONLINE EXHIBITIONS!
These provide us with a way to view all types of artwork and discover new artists and collect work from those we already follow from the comfort of our homes and computers. And for us artists, we don’t have to pay ridiculous shipping fees and risk our work being lost or damaged while still being able to reach an international audience. I do still really enjoy actual brick and mortar exhibits where I can attend the openings and meet the other artists and collectors, but internet art shows are another way to gain exposure and mingle with other creatives.
So, for those of you who want to exhibit hop from home, here are 2 online exhibitions I have artwork in…
International Women’s Exhibit
This online exhibition features amazing photographic images from women artists around the world! From traditional images to abstract and surreal, it’s worth taking the time to scroll through this extensive show and experience so many beautiful pieces in one place. I have a B&W night shot I took in Amsterdam in this show. Here’s the link: http://www.womeninfocusatlanta.com/ under Exhibits. The exhibit will remain online through the month of April.
Spring Featured Artists
Okay, this is SO cool given that I can’t really drive myself at this point. Yay, technology!
LOL, awesome…this will keep you busy for a while! 🙂
This is wonderful, Lauren. I do enjoy art but rarely get out to appreciate it. Now I have a way to take a minute from my writing and look at the finer things in life. Thank you for this
Hope you enjoy the websites…let me know what you think! Hope you’re writing is coming along just as you want it to!
