I found, in this subreddit, a massive list of other subreddits dedicated to art organized into categories. However, most if not all of them won’t let you put your username for social in them. Why?
I’m genuinely curious why it’s so frowned upon in most art subreddits and facebook groups to include your @ or your website. Why not credit yourself and leave yourself findable? I understand URL restrictions and self promo in the form of begging people to buy your shit, but I hate posting my artwork if I can’t actually give people a way to see more of it or have a watermark in my photos. I also want to be able to find the socials of artists I see on here that I love. I feel like art groups should be a place to share yourself alongside your work.
If there is a good reason for this, I would love to be let in the know!
And if you have suggestions especially for acrylic painters, where we can actually post our @ in our description, it would be so appreciated. Thank you!
