Discovering The Best Online Art Communities

By Kimberly Ross


While most artists work on a solo basis, there is often still a need for a sense of community. For, many of these individuals often feel isolated and alone at times. Knowing this, a group of artists have come up with some of the best online art communities for those seeking to share art, obtain and provide critiques and converse while becoming part of a community of like-minded people.

For, when surrounded by positive people of like mind, individuals often become inspired like never before, sometimes to the point of feeling overwhelmed. In addition, by sharing critiques these individuals can often become enlightened and informed as to what may or may not work in a piece of art. As this is the case, it is important that artists provide constructive criticism in a kind, polite and respectful manner.

While there are a number of these communities now online, some are better than others. As such, the ones listed are often considered the best among most artists working in the online community. Whether a community of artists sharing in conversation, art or articles related to artists, all have something different and unique to offer.

Tumblr can be a great way to showcase different art projects while sharing and re-sharing original art and art by others on the site which an members believe are worth re-sharing. While most post in the art communities section, there are a number of different sections in which art can be shared. Whereas, the user base is enormous so artists often gain a great deal of insight from users across the Tumblr platform. While this is the case, since it is a re-posting based website, it can often be difficult to communicate with other users on an ongoing basis.
