Traditional norms, once reliant on prestigious academic backgrounds, are being challenged as artists harness platforms like Instagram for global reach and visibility. Sales in the art market continue to grow despite an overall slowdown, with online venues seeing success. While elite academies still hold some influence, the growing recognition of independent artists suggests a shifting balance of power in the art world.
