Are you ready to start your artist Facebook page and start driving traffic to your blog? In this post, I will show you how to set up an artist Facebook Page so you can start sharing your art with over one billion active Facebook users.
Facebook pages are a great way to build your customer fan base if you use it properly. Your artist page will help keep you in contact with your fans and is a great way to show them your latest work and news about you.
How to Set Up an Artist Facebook Page
Log into your personal Facebook profile page.
Hover over the drop down box and click Create Page
Click Artist, Band or Public Figure link
Choose Artist for your category.
Name your Page.
You will want to use your brand name or your name with Fine Artist after it. For example “You’re Name Fine Artist”. You will be able to change your name until you have 200 likes or fans. It is best if you sit down and spend some time coming up with your page name before starting.
Read the Facebook Page Terms then click get started.
Congratulations you now have an Artist Facebook Page.
What to do next:
- Add a profile picture. The image size for the Facebook profile picture is 180 pixels by 180 pixels.
- Add about information. This will be some basic information about your art business. You will be able to revise it at a later time if need be. You can add your blog or website here as well.
- When you are done click save info.
- Like your page.
- Add a cover photo. The cover photo image size is 851 pixels wide and 315 pixels high. Be creative. This should showcase your brand. You can easily create a cover image using PicMonkey, a free online image editing site.
- Share some content. Share your first post. I recommended putting up some content before you start to ask people to follow you.
- Add more about info. Click About link located on the menu bar located underneath your cover photo.

Thanks for all your info. I’m starting to sell my landscape art on Facebook, averaging around $2,500 a month part time, soon to retire in July and go full-time in my passion of Art. I am self taught and have been painting since I was 12 years old and I am now 65 years old. I’ve had the privilege to instruct my art class in high school in my Junior and senior years. Art Is My Life. Thanks for all your time and knowledge.
This is a very good article. I have to start selling my art on Facebook, on my regular site. I have been averaging about $2,500 a month part time, and soon to retire in July and go full-time in my artwork. I am 65 years old and I have been painting since I was 13, all self-taught, and had the privilege at leading my art class in Junior and senior in high school. Art is my passion. I am strictly a landscape artist, trying to preserve the old barns and homesteads that the younger generation have never seen. I’m trying to make a mark in history with my art. I love it.
You are most welcome and congratulations Chris. Share your Facebook page URL here so people can visit you.
If there is anything I can help you with just let me know.
