Hosting a virtual art show through an online web photo album

Aspiring artists young and old can benefit from using an online web photo album to showcase their art work. In years past, the only way for an artist to be seen was to have their work exhibited in a public place, like an art gallery, museum, or other showcase. Today many people still aspire to have their work shown in such a way but there are more options to be discovered now than ever.

Every artist should have online photo galleries to promote their work. This creates a space for art lovers, aficionados, and others seeking artwork to discover their art. While some artists may decide to only exhibit their work online, others may use web photo albums to highlight a few of their favorite works in hopes galleries or private buyers will contact them for future work or exhibits. Web photo albums can also serve as an online resume, by creating different albums based on different accomplishments. If an artist displayed in a gallery they might choose 3-4 favorite works from that time, images from the event, or photos that show their inspiration. This tells a full visual story.

If an artist is starting out web photo albums can be a means of earning income from their work as well. Artwork can be uploaded along with images attached for digital rights to that image or prices to buy the physical piece of art. This saves an artist money as they don’t need to pay for space to physically hang their artwork and advertising to get people into the door.

There are many ways to make web photo albums help boost an artists’ resume as well as their pocketbook. With a little ingenuity and creativity the results will speak for themselves!
