Meet Artists Weekly, Our New, Content-Packed Newsletter
Hi, wonderful artists!
We’ve got a few cool things up our sleeve for the end of September and beyond, and we couldn’t be more excited. Our editorial newsletter, which previously included just one story and was sent to your inbox every Monday and Wednesday, has undergone a serious overhaul.
Starting Wednesday, September 23, 2020, you’ll receive the new and improved Artists Weekly. We designed this newsletter with you (and a lot of your candid feedback) in mind. Like its name, this editorial newsletter will arrive in your inbox once a week, bursting with valuable information and inspiration. Here’s a breakdown of what each Artists Weekly newsletter will feature (including episodes from our new podcast Art Bound, which goes live on September 23, too). All the things — and they’re all for you!
Each Artists Weekly email will feature:
Pick of the Week
The Artists Weekly Pick of the Week will be an inspirational story geared toward artists of all mediums — something we can all relate to and take something away from.
We heard you when you asked for more (and more diverse) content. After the Pick of the Week, there will be five more medium-specific stories, each in the following categories.
Watercolor
From tips, techniques, and demos to artist profiles, this section is devoted to all things watercolor.
Drawing/Colored Pencil
Same goes for all the sections — there will be something for everyone! This section is all about drawing and will sometimes zero in on colored pencil content, as well.
Acrylic
We have not featured quite as much acrylic content as we have other mediums, but that’s about to change.
Oil/Pastel
This section will alternate between oil and pastel content, so keep your eyes peeled!
Mixed Media
From collages to encaustics, this section will cover all types of mixed media content.
Listen/Watch
The Listen/Watch section will highlight a YouTube video or an episode from Art Bound, Artists Network’s new podcast that features real talk about the good, bad, and ugly of living the artist’s life. (ArtBound launches September 23, 2020. Learn more and check out the trailer!)
Get Involved
This section is all about fostering a stronger sense of community. We’ll showcase your art that you tag us in on social media (@artistsnetwork), or we’ll share an opportunity to participate in an art challenge, poll, etc.
Mark Your Calendars
Wrapping up the Artists Weekly newsletter, the Mark Your Calendars section will list a handful of upcoming happenings on Artists Network in the next two weeks — from competition deadlines and workshops to new video series and more!
As you can see, we’ve seriously upgraded these emails with plans to give you even more stories with less overwhelm to your inbox. We can’t wait to share Artists Weekly with you and see what you think. Once you start receiving these newsletters, we encourage you to provide feedback on them by emailing [email protected]. (If you have a customer service issue unrelated to Artists Weekly, you can submit a request here, just FYI.) Keep your eyes peeled!
Happy creating,
Vanessa
