Perhaps one of the coolest features of ETSY.com is the ability to search artist and works found locally within their own community. To achieve this, you go to the ETSY.com homepage => then click to the Shop Local tab. Doing so enables you to search your city/zip code to find local artists.
Maddy, one of our group members, is an illustration major and a very talented artist. To highlight the extensive reach that ETSY.com can have, she commented that she has sold some her art via ETSY.com to people in New York and other cities because those people were able to search by classification and find artists that they liked.
I feel like the development of online websites where people can connect and find great works of art is similar to the development and expansion of printing. With these two developments, the influence of peoples’ ideas (or artistic works) can now travel both near and far. Additionally, Maddy commented that finding art and artists in other countries have helped to significantly influence her art and the type of artist that she would like to be.
