#FirstFridayEtsy on Instagram

Do you have Instagram?
If you have a smart phone, most likely you've downloaded this app.

We're trying to keep up with the times and see how to integrate things with our Art Walk Etsy Team and social media outlets to keep our members connected by using #FirstFridayEtsy.

This could be a great way to show off what our Team members are working on in their creative spaces, what they are inspired by, and where they are at - checking out artwork (a show, a gallery, wherever).

If you are one of our AWETeam members, we would love to have you participate!

And with any media, please make sure to give artist credit to appropriate works (you can add text to your image with various apps before uploading it to Instagram).

Since this is brand new to our team, let's see how this plug-in works for showing off the feed (does it update automatically or is it static? It's starting out on 5/2/13 with one image by Marsha Neal Studio - but is set up to show off 3 x4 photos = 12 images total).
