Is Social Media Ruining Your Art?

ChrisOatley_OctopusSocialMedia Is social media empowering your best work? …or is it just a distraction? Are likes and shares actually toxic to your creativity?

In this panel discussion we help you maintain a healthy relationship to social media.

Panelists: Ejiwa (Edge) Ebenebe (Technology Director for The Oatley Academy), Adam Westbrook (creator of the ‘Delve Video Essays’), Amanda Duarte (co-founder and artist at Limetown Studios,) and Magic Box coach Melissa Dow.

Questions Answered:

  • How do you break out of the addictive endless scroll trap?
  • What ways do you use to reduce the presence of social media in your life?
  • How do you deal with the feeling of discouragement?
