First of all, I want to thank you for sharing your thoughts about the topic of Art . By Reading it i got answers of many questions in my mind. Your observation is very deep and based on reality. Some of the points I have noted too.
As far as I understand, the reason for Curators not paying attention to Art topics on Steemit is that artists do not pay attention to each other's work. And neither do they communicate with each other. I am not talking about paintings only its about all categories related with art . Maybe after putting in double effort (making art and then making a post), they get so tired that they don't have the energy to pay attention to someone else's work. That is, artists only value their own work. They don't care what other artists are doing.
Apart from this, I have noted one more thing. You will get comments like "Good job", "Well done", or "Beautiful" on Art posts. Maybe that's why Curators ignore them. Because there is no engagement on this topic. Many people don't want to create their own work, they just trace someone else's picture with a pencil and make a post.
If I talk about myself, I am trying to present my work in a better way day by day. By Hoping, this will catch the attention of Curators in the Art category. And i know this will not be possible until artists start paying attention to each other's work.
It would be great if there was engagement along with entertainment. But I wish it was possible.
Actually, what you are saying I see everywhere no matter if it's photography, writing, or whatever. The average attitude is post and leave or perhaps a part does invest time in answering notifications. If it comes to art or something great there are times when "awesome" is enough especially, if it's said by someone you more frequently talk to or who shows overall interest.
I know I find it hard to promote myself and for sure many more, especially artists, deal with that part. Promoting is time-consuming and that's why authors have publishers doing that work for them, film producers do the same. Should Art on Steemit have their own art critics to do the promoting? It could help but on the other hand who's that crazy to invest time in doing so?
A community Art might be a big help and could highlight some entries. Will it make any of those who publish in it rich? If it comes to that the chance is as big as posting elsewhere. Will it help to be surrounded by other art lovers? It might since no matter if we comment we do see another and being with like minded can already be a big help. If needed there's someone nearby and you don't need days to find someone since the #art and #review hashtags just like #story #poetry #photography and #creativewriting are rarely the places where art can be found.
