It was only a matter of time, I think, for a social network devoted to visual arts to come along. Artwedo.com is precisely that, and it’s aimed not only at painters but also at artists such as photographers and designers.
To use Artwedo, you need to complete a small registration process to get a username and a password. Apart from painters, designers and photographers, anyone who feels some kind of passion for visual arts can join in. A journalist or a critic, someone who wants to visit art galleries in a city he will pass through shortly, art galleries who are in search of new talent… all these will find Artwedo.com really useful.
Of course, there’s wider social networks which can also be used for specific purposes. However, the advantages of a site specially dedicated to people who are in this trade (or who want to be) are easy to see. No clutter from other people and no strangers friending you out of the blue are the most obvious ones, along with the knowledge that anyone you come across here shares the same passion as you.
You can even build your career as an art writer by posting your comments on any art event you’ve enjoyed, and speak your thoughts about art as a way to start climbing positions to become a renowned critic.
And if you’re an artist, you can always use the site to sell your own work.
