Instagram Growth Workshop w/Sam Shelton

Instagram Growth Workshop with Sam Shelton is a practical session on using Instagram and related social platforms to promote a business or creative practice. Shelton, a Torpedo Factory Art Center resident artist, has built a combined following of more than 50,000 across Instagram, Facebook, and Threads in the past three years. She is part of Instagram’s creator network and has been invited to participate in its bonus program.

The workshop covers account types, post formats, captions and hashtagging, ways to increase followers and engagement, collaborations with the Arts Club and other artists or organizations, direct-message marketing, and monetization. Participants will also receive individualized tips based on a review of their Instagram account, a take-home handout, and time for questions and answers.
