Steemit Art Centre!! Monday's Update

Welcome to the 'Steemit Art Centre'.

The Steemit Art Centre is regularly updated so please come back frequently to see what's new!

So, what's today's news?

• I want to share some exciting news. The great artist @magiccleatus has started a fantastic channel on Discord. It's called the Zen Colouring contest. It covers that contest and much, much more! You can post your art to give it more exposure, listen to and choose music, advertise your art contests and chat with other visitors. It's just the beginning so visit frequently to see what's happening!!

• We have two new submissions to the Art Gallery from @joyart. Thank you so much to her :)

Steemit Art Centre gives your posts exposure. Just drop the link to your post in the comments below and I will add it here.

Exposure is important because the more your art is seen, the more followers you will attract and, in turn, that brings more upvotes and income for you.

We have the Steemit Art Centre Gallery running now. There room for everyone.

Please use the Gallery by dropping a link below. I'll be pleased to display it here.

Here is information about using the Steemit Art Centre Gallery:

Any artists who want to display their work in the Steemit Art Centre Galley should make their own post with the artwork they want to display then drop a link here in the comments below. That will enable me to display it. You can display as many artworks as you want

It also means you get income from your own post.

Here is 'A Tribute to Butterflies' that I hope you will enjoy:
