The best direction one could give to someone interested in expanding their knowledge of contemporary art is to pay attention to what artists are paying attention to; artists always know before everyone else does. With this in mind, Artist are searching for untraditional ways to connect with their audience. They spoke about why these talents deserve more attention than they’re getting, and why readers should take time to explore their oeuvres, which inspect, among other things, issues of identity, race, material culture, social justice, climate change and how we live.
1. Sign up to artists services also known as Artist Development.
Most of the biggest music streaming services have platforms built specifically for artists. So if you're releasing music, signing up is a no-brainer.
These services will allow you to access an array of features and benefits within the platform, that are exclusively reserved for artists using and releasing music on the platform.
So for example, signing up to Spotify for Artistsallows you to add a profile image, submit music to Spotify playlists (more info on that below!), edit your Spotify artist bio, view streaming analytics and access Spotify's 'Artist's Pick'.
But it's not just Spotify that caters to it's artists needs. There's also Apple Music for Artists, Amazon Music for Artists, Deezer for Creators and YouTube for Artists - so if you haven't already, go sign up!
Your website should obviously include links to your music, bios, images and tour dates, but make sure to also include a mailing list sign up form. Email marketing offers direct access to the inboxes of people most likely to engage with your music.
If a fan gives you their email address, it means they want to hear from you, and a message direct to their inbox about your latest release or upcoming tour is much more likely to reach them than a social post that can be restricted by a platform's limited reach.
