The past couple of years have been both trying and exciting times for Native American artists. With markets closed or postponed in some areas and artist patrons scaling back travel as a whole, creators have had to adapt and find other ways to showcase their work. As a result we have seen an increase in online offerings as the internet has allowed artists to reach more collectors around the world than ever before.
Social media has been an effective tool for many artists, and gallery owners have had to position themselves in new ways to help service the artisans they represent as well as the customers they serve. The online marketplace has definitely emerged as one of the most viable outlets for Native artists around the country, and it is definitely here to stay. With the click of a button, collectors can opt in to receive updates of new work or follow their favorite artists and galleries online.
Nothing will ever replace the unique aspect of a one-on-one cultural immersion experience, but when that opportunity is not clearly viable or readily available, Native artists will continue sharing their work in the online marketplace.
