Steemit Art Centre!! Monday's Update - We Have A New Interview Today!

Welcome to the 'Steemit Art Centre'.

The construction of the Steemit Art Centre is ongoing so please come back frequently to see what's new!

So, what is new today?

We have an interview with the spooky artist @marty-art.

Here's the interview. I'm sure you'll enjoy reading it!

@marty-art exhibits his art and hosts the interactive games on Steemit. He is a great Steemian to follow!

Here is the full interview post:

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.

Don't forget to read the interview from @cobmaximus:

@cobmaximus hosts the Funny Comic Strips Contest on Steemit. It's great to meet the guy behind the jokes!

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.

Now we are joined by the excellent sketch by @fourapril. She says, 'All my life I'm a fan of fantasy. And here is one of the works of the writer Gene Wolfe "The Sword of the Lictor" inspired me to paint this art. But keep in mind that I'm just learning to sketch)'

@losthippie is sharing this artwork he created several years ago:

I think you'll agree it is a great tribute to Nelson Mandela.

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.'

Soy una aprendiz del arte. Quisiera ser artísta, pero ya no tendré tiempo. Lo intento. Fui traumatizada de pequeña en el colegio y nunca más pinté . Les dejo la publicación que hice al respecto. https://steemit.com/steemit/@orgaescola/steemit-me-libero-de-un-trauma-abajo-con-los-profesores-toxicos
Ahora he comenzado a pintar en mi tablet. Mi marido me regaló un lápiz y dibujo. He escrito otro post desciéndome de prejuicios sobre el arte. Yo creo que es interesante y les gustará, seguro que debatirán conmigo. No se asusten por el título, el contenido se refiere a lo contrario. Se trata de una reflexión sobre qué es lo que se entiende por arte, desde mi ignorancia. https://steemit.com/spanish/@orgaescola/caguese-en-el-arte
