Call Out for Workshops and Classes
It’s time to share your workshops and classes that you have happening across Tasmania on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
This is all about supporting and celebrating all the creative small businesses (aka artists earning some income from their wonderful talents!!), artists, galleries, shops, art societies, art and craft groups and art retreats who put on workshops and classes, members or non-members.
While our members get to be listed on our What’s On directory page, Workshops and Classes, this is also available for all Tasmanian artists and groups.
Workshops and Classes
You’re welcome to drop links int the comments to what you’re up to, and, of course, you’re welcomed to follow Art Trails Tasmania on Facebook and Instagram.
Links in Individual Comments
I’ve learnt from previous call outs that it is best to drop your links in Facebook in individual comments.
This makes it much easier for the links to be clicked on and followed.
It also lets Facebook show the images related to the pages, always a benefit.
Naturally enough, Instagram isn’t as helpful with links. I’d be really happy to fix this but sadly, I don’t have any influence in that area!
How to Leave Details to Your Workshops and Classes
Giving context to your links makes the world of difference.
So be sure to actually write a helpful description about what you’re doing.
This is all about helping you to connect to our followers, who will, hopefully, become your followers.
I’ve noticed that the comments with links that include a description as well as the link work much better thank those with just a page handle.
Have Your Artist Story and Events Shared
If you’d like to have your artist story and event news shared here on Art Trails Tasmania and across our socials do be sure to join our flourishing artists community over at the Member’s Hub.

Skills Sharing Stories
I want there to be more arts and crafts in our world, in our communities and in our own lives. Hopefully you’ve found this blog post useful and interesting in your creative journey.
So I’m creating, with your help, Art Trails Tasmania, allowing all of us who feel this love to create more of it.
And the Art Trails Tasmania blog is a key part of making this happen, telling the stories of members. It’s about what they have happening with workshops and classes, exhibitions, open studio trails, where to find their outlets, markets, fairs and festivals so you can shop their creations as well as their art and craft retreats.
Also being shared are the supporters of our artists, the galleries, shops, cafes, art societies and groups, places to stay and artist in residencies.
