On EBSQ, Art Meets Blog. I read a blogpost that might interest you. Natasha Wescoat, a young artist and technology freak tries to explain what it takes to be a successful artist. I recommend you to read the whole article because it is clear and refreshing. Look in her 6 ways to free yourself for inspiration! By the way, interesting about Natasha Wescoat is that she is an expert in using new technologies (web 2.0.) to communicate and promote her work. Check out all these links to find out more:

A difficult name to remember: EBSQ. Off course, there is a history attached to it written in 2000 by John Seed, a California artist and educator. In short, the concept behind EBSQ is to support living artists in a variety of ways. This platform is very valuable for Edosia because it sets an example.
EBSQ has become an online artist community and is a portfolio site. It also offers artists user-friendly tools to create a web presence and to connect with other artists worldwide. Above, EBSQ designs online exhibitions on a monthly basis and informs its viewers about the newest marketing techniques via social media.
EBSQ certainly is an example that is worth looking into although it doesn’t really satisfy me. The look and feel of the site is disturbed by adds and the general site overview is inconvenient. I guess it reminds me too much of commercial initiatives. Artists sometimes write very interesting pieces for the site, but there should be more blog posts of this high standard. Something to think about…
