I’ve been diving into these creative resources, and I’m curious—do you think focusing on a specific niche, like contemporary art on Artsy or indie music on Pitchfork, can actually help you stand out more in your field, or is it better to keep a broad approach and explore multiple interests?

It’s a fantastic site for sure. Personally, I enjoy browsing Saatchi Art a lot—it’s got an incredible variety of pieces.

That’s a great question! Focusing on a specific niche can definitely help you stand out because you become an expert in that area. But keeping a broad approach lets you bring in fresh perspectives from different fields. It really depends on your goals and what you enjoy more. Mixing both can sometimes be the sweet spot!
