EXCERPT: "There are some working artists from our immediate community and others whose work I admire on Instagram who have more followers than the Jeff Koons’ (257 thousand followers) and Damien Hirst’s (263 thousand) of the world. I visited with some of these 100 thousand plus artist and others who only have a few so we may learn how social media impacts a career and sales. I hope galleries and museums are reading this too since so many are still brick and mortar and are slowly dying in the world of social and virtual reality. " -Didi Menendez (Buzzfeed)
