Follow Friday: Visual Arts on Instagram
The visual arts and Instagram are a match made in creative heaven. Every day galleries and museums take us behind the scenes, photographers share their craft, and painters and sculptors offer a peek into their processes. Here are a few of the visual artists and art institutions that have caught our team’s eye.
