So here's my question to you, to help us continue to support artists: Will you support us in return?
As a Fine Art Views subscriber, we are giving you an early opportunity to start using Musero (and to invite your friends, fans, followers and collectors).
To address the problem of Big Tech running these platforms, luring creatives to use them, and then later betraying those same artists, we are launching a social network that works like theoriginalInstagram. Artists need a place like that. And it needs to be run by someone, not a big tech company, they can trust. Someone who thinks about art all the time. Someone like us.
Together, we can re-create the magic of earlyInstagram, but we can't do it alone. We need you to join our new network and commit to be active. If you are a collector, we need you to join and follow artists and to encourage them. If you are an artist, you must commit to post your art and to engage with others by liking their posts and commenting.
In return, if you will do those things, we will commit not to betray your trust the way that Instagram has done. Your followers are your followers and if you post something, they should see it (assuming they scroll their feed). If you are a collector, we pledge a chronological feed and you will see the posts of the artists you follow.
If we can all do this together, we can attract great artists, collectors, photographers, creatives, suppliers and all the people we need to escape the TikTok, algorithmic insanity and just enjoy calm beauty once again.
We already have some great artists and collectors already using Musero. One collector, who owns over 300 original works of art and is already a very activeMuserouser, wrote me directly to say:
