Greetings!

Our recent tweetoff promoting our 18"x18" show was a great success. The tag #18x18 saw an increase of 57 mentions from 39 to 96 via analytics.topsy.com from May 7th to May 11th, 2013. The tag #artdc saw an increase of 36 mentions from 26 to 62 via analytics.topsy.com also from May 7th to May 11th, 2013.

We need to continue promoting art across social media to have an impact on the social graph.  To accomplish this, we want to see your art! Tweet us images of your art! 

This note marks the start of #artdc 's show us your art tweet off!

Use the tags: #artdc #TweetUsArt

Our goal is to develop a tighter art community with artists on twitter and expose the world to their art. Forward this message to your friends, fellow artists, and art lovers to get the message out that we want to see pictures of your art. Whether you are a student, an emerging artist, mid-career artist, or a rock star museum artist, we want to see your work, simply for the sake of loving it, and the promotion of creativity.  This isn't about commercial impact; it's about the love for creativity and the fact that we want to see your art! So tweet us an image of your work.

If you'd like to discuss this call to tweet, please do so here.
