Instagram is such a great platform for artists and any visually oriented businesses. And hashtags can be super helpful in making sure your Instagram content gets in front of the right people. If you ever share artwork on Instagram, here are ten hashtags you might use to share your work.
#
Abstract art can come in so many different mediums – painting, drawing, sculpture, collages. And even if you don’t consider your main artwork to be abstract, you can create some abstract work as a creative exercise or just share small samples of your work that look abstract. This is a general hashtag you can use to share that type of artwork.
#
Mixed media art is anything that uses multiple mediums at once. If you create any of this type of artwork, this is another general hashtag you can use to share your work.
#
This is one of my favorites, created by @. A lot of the images in this tag are super fun and colorful. You can use it to share paintings, abstract work, patterns, and even snippets from your art journal.
#
Every artist has some kind of sketchbook or a place to work out ideas that aren’t fully polished. And sharing images from the pages from your sketchbook or art journal can be a great way to give people a sort of behind-the-scenes look at your creative process.
#
This hashtag showcases artwork in lots of different styles and mediums. Anything super creative goes! And the @ account shares images from the hashtag feed sometimes.
#
Another hashtag that you can use to get your artwork shared in front of a larger audience, the huge variety of creative images are sometimes reposted to the @ Instagram account.
#
Illustrators, sculptors, painters, and more can share artwork in this feed. The @ account also reposts images from this feed from time to time.
#
This hashtag also includes a huge variety of different artists and styles. You can share paintings, sculptures, sketches, and even videos of your art creation process.
#
The @ account uses this hashtag to help artists connect with one another and share their work. You can post basically any type of art with this tag, and the account reposts content from it as well.
#
This isn’t specific just to artwork. But that’s what a lot of the images consist of. If you’re unfamiliar, WIP stands for work in progress. So you can share any unfinished projects or artwork to give people a look at your process.
