Hello!
And firstly, a small apology over the (mostly) inactive state of the community...
I created the community during the reddit blackout, as I wanted to have a space to discuss art techniques/materials/art help/business side of being creative/an artist. I also made 3 other communities printmaking, collage and abstract photography at the same time.
Which is rather a lot.
So, I decided to concentrate on the 'easier' communities, which mostly involves posting artwork found on the internet to create a 'garnish' of colour and interest.
Hopefully, this will make a space that others will feel comfortable posting, either their own original content or sharing work they find online. It seems to be slowly working, with a steady increase of subscribers and also some original content, woo!
So back to Artist Lounge.
I have linked art communities I've found so far in the fediverse, if there are others that I don't know about please share and I'll include them. I am also thinking of ways to get the place going, which will involve discussion based posts (not posting 'pretty pictures') which will take time and considerably more effort on my part, hence the inactive state of things.
If anyone wants to share community links, information or has suggestions, please leave a comment. If you're feeling particularly daring perhaps make a post... :)
Until then, see you at printmaking, collage or abstract photography
