Instagram for Artists:
What Actually Works to Sell Art in 2026
You can STILL start from scratch on Instagram and blow up your art biz in 2026.
In this free live training, artist Josie Lewis (900K+ Instagram followers, 4M followers total, and a full-time art career built largely online) will break down how artists actually go from making art in the studio to consistently selling it.
Reserve your seat at one of these live sessions:
In this 60 minute live, interactive session, you’ll learn:
• Why Instagram is NOT DEAD. At least, not yet.
• Why marketing simply means showing your art to people
• The biggest mistake artists make on Instagram
• How social media can connect you with collectors, galleries, and new audiences
• What it actually takes to grow an audience that cares about your work
Josie will share how she went from teaching and waitressing to building a full-time art career selling directly from her home studio.
If Instagram currently feels overwhelming, annoying, or like “one more thing to do,” this training will help you rethink how it can actually become a creative and energizing part of your art practice.
There will be time for live Q&A, so bring your questions.
Come learn how artists are using Instagram to build audiences, make connections, and sell their work.

Have we met? Hi, I’m Josie!
I’m a lifelong full time artist who loves color, process and fun! I’ve also written a book on color mixing, had my line of art materials on sale at Michaels across the USA and Canada, been a college art professor, had my art collected around the world, and my art process videos have had more than 1 billion views. (Dude. What???) You can find me everywhere as @josielewisart and I hope you say hi!
I’ve also taught thousands of art-curious creatives in workshops and online courses, and I love inspiring people to take bold moves for their art passions!
