After 8 years, we’ve outgrown ourselves. We’re building something more fundamental - direct-to-consumer revenues in addition to ads and #subscriptions. Follow @getsupertab to see what’s coming up.

More than $196.6 billion was spent on #art at auction between 2008 and 2019. Of this, work made by women accounted for just $4 billion - around 2%! Women #artists are massively under represented. This needs to change. #creatoreconomy #womenartists #contributeto #passioneconomy

Silvia Lelli is one of the most respected female #photographers in the field. She’s raising money to make a book of her collaboration with Pina Bausch’s show, Kontakthof. Contribute to this important archive, visit contribute.to/silvialelli #contributeto #art #artists #silvialelli

So humbled to have Silvia Lelli the official #photographer of La Scala #Theatre of Milan for 18 years joining Contribute.to! She is one the most respected female photographers in the field. contribute.to/silvialelli #womenartists #art #arttech #creatoreconomy

Why are these trees pink? Don’t adjust your screen - @bertolegendaryh uses infrared technology to capture nature. He's the first artist we’ve had from Germany! contribute.to/bertoherrera #art #artists #photography #contributeto #creatoreconomy #passioneconomy #bertoherrera

How is an #NFT the same as going to @MuseumModernArt because you like buying the ticket — not because you like to see the #art? Check out my Medium post detailing my adventures in the world of #blockchain-secured art! cosminene.medium.com/nfts-non-funct… #arttech #contributeto

A 2018 analysis of 18 US #art #museums found their collections are 87% male and 85% white. Women #artists are massively under represented. Every week I’m going to post a different statistic to highlight the need for change. #creatoreconomy #womenartists #contributeto

I woke up from a dream about #blockchain, afraid of the Non-Functional Thing - the link to my #NFT was broken. #NonFunctionalThing

@bindi_vora has spent the last 14 months pairing #covid headlines with vintage imagery that seems familiar but is not. This is art history in the making. Instead of buying this morning’s paper, support Bindi. contribute.to/bindi_vora #bindivora #contributeto #supportartists

@bindi_vora is pairing images found in various vintage archives with headlines ripped from the newspapers and now plans to exhibit her work. 10% of funds raised goes to the amazing charity @Hospital_Rooms. contribute.to/bindi_vora #bindivora #contributeto #supportartists #art

In the US in 2017, 3/4 of #artists made $10k or less per year from their #art. Close to half made no more than $5k. Given #Covid, what do you think that figure was for 2020? These figures keep me up at night. Artists deserve more. #technology #supportartists #contributeto

It may be nice to see your work being liked on Instagram and other #socialmedia, but #artists cannot survive on getting 'likes' for their work. Likes don't pay the rent. You can’t eat likes. They don’t buy your toothpaste. #arttech #technology #art #creatoreconomy #supportartists

Want to join our #remote-first team of 40 amazing people distributed over 13 countries? @Laterpay and @Contributeto2 are #hiring a new #socialmediamarketingmanager!! Apply here and let us know what you bring to the table: weworkremotely.com/remote-jobs/la…!!

We built Contribute.to from scratch in a matter of months, leveraging an international team on 2 continents that has still never met. And it works beautifully - it’s being adopted by emerging #artists all around the world! #contributeto #covid #art #technology #arttech

Empower creators to support their passions. Even with small denominations you can help artists realise their dreams. Consider donating a few $ to contribute.to/andrewblauschi… #contributeto #andrewblauschild #emergingphotographer #fridayfeels #fundthearts #fundcreativity

@contributeto2 wasn’t created out of thin air, but because I think technology has a moral obligation to help #artists make money online. Otherwise they’re just getting likes for their work. And likes don’t pay the rent. #contributeto #supportartists #art #creatoreconomy #arttech

Contribute.to has launched today and i’m thrilled about it. A simple link that follows artists wherever they meet their audience: on social media. Reward creativity by turning appreciation into #support! Check out the card & the matching feature: contribute.to/lem2

@timbray For ages, @Laterpay has supported purchasing individual bits of content - 1 article, video, podcast, etc. Low friction models have highly attractive unit economics - and the math backs it up. whatsnewinpublishing.com/the-surprising…

Why publications won’t sell access to individual articles, and why they’re wrong: tbray.org/ongoing/When/2… Pivoting to subscriptions was a good idea, but its days are unfortunately past for most publications.
