FAQ About Impact of Social Media on Contemporary Visual Arts
What impact does social media have on the traditional art market?
Social media impacts the traditional art market by democratizing access to art and reducing the dominance of established art institutions and galleries. Artists can sell directly to consumers, bypassing traditional gatekeepers. This has led to a revitalization of the art scene, although it also introduces challenges like the oversaturation of the market and the sometimes lack of curation that galleries traditionally provide.
