Podcasts are becoming a core format for sharing ideas knowledge and experience for more and more people. This includes art business creatives, and Department45 will be spending time to review a range of different podcasts to help you find those that can help you in your art business journey. Finding those that have experience, knowledge and advice to provide, and seeing whos worth a follow.

Social Media is just one great source of information and ideas on how to run an art business. As with all sources we need to understand who is out there, what are they saying and do they provide value to me as a consumer. We do a quick review of a small sample of different creators on Instagram, and suggest who to follow and what may be worth considering when finding influencers that you may want to follow or avoid.

The creative way is another book about small business for artists and creatives, which we are reviewing in our ongoing series of popular art business books. By Rick Rubin , we will give our unbais and honest opinion on the content of this book and see if it can provide value to you
