Do you Instagram?  A Podcast by THoTA for Visual Artists.

In this episode, I put the emphasis on keeping your account professional. There are multiple manners to produce content for your Instagram account. Please keep your feed professional.

I have nothing relevant to say

Like a writer facing the blank page or at the beginning of a new painting, sometimes, we are a bit stuck with our Instagram “content production” pipeline.

With the holidays, the content may vary with some beach and cool sunsets, it’s the season - Ok.

However, I would like to point out some unprofessional content all year round.

Unprofessional content

I hate those who publish their pets - even more, when some people start doing it over and over.  Surprisingly, there are big and professional accounts that are tempted too.

There are limitless examples, just for the illustration; here are some recent ones: 

• @artbrussels (a carousel of dogs) 


• @art22gallery (cat in posts and stories) 


• @HitomiKammai who calls herself the “Cat artist” (posts and stories) 


• @HollyCoulis with a cat everywhere on the profile picture to feed and stories. Despite that, she is an artist represented by @SimonLeegallery


• @londonartstudies a fluffy cat in the post because there were already a few posts with dogs


• @mallgalleries a painting of a big black cat


• @the_breeder_gallery a dog peekaboo


• @jessicasilvermangallery where is the artwork? oh yes on the second picture of course.


• and even @vitoschnabelgallery (Stories about the Lion’s King movie)
