Thank you so much for always supporting all of us the newbies artists. i second all your criteria mentioned. I can relate a lot on your initiative to nurture the artistic vibes from the grass roots, its not an easy task i believe. :)
and if i may suggest another criteria too is the spirit of collaboration with other artists here in steemit is also an exciting factor everytime i read a post here! things like the inspiration youve get from another steemit artists, or collaboration across different diciplines; music+visual, writing+photography, poetry+drawings,etc. or works done learning from other artist's tutorial, etc. We can have the chance to connect and expand our network..:)
anyway, may God bless you for your hard work! :)
I try, sometimes it´s hard to actually support everyone who deserves it, but there are still a few manual curators striving every day to find great content and reward them for it.
Creating sinergy between different art forms is awesome, I haven´t really seen a lot of those during this year and 2 months I´ve been here though :/
