Instagram has long been a platform for artists. With the ability to reach millions
of people, creatives can share all kinds of work from photography to graphic design
to fine art.

Now, artists are using their Instagram accounts as an art piece in itself, usually
focusing all their content around one niche idea. Here are three ongoing art projects
you need to follow.

**Hannah La Follette Ryan** is a New York City-based photographer, capturing photos
during her daily commute from Brooklyn into Manhattan. These intimate, anonymous
moments have gathered tons of attention online, with her account gathering more 
than 100k followers.

By capturing the personalities of subway riders without showing their faces, Ryan
has managed to give us a tiny glimpse into NYC life. This project started with just
Ryan’s photography, but as it’s grown in popularity people from across the globe
have begun submitting photos of subway hands from their cities.

At first glance, **Kirby Jenner** is part of the elite.  Posing for photos with 
Kendall Jenner and the Kardashians, one starts to wonder _is this a Jenner brother
I haven’t heard of?_ But, no. Kirby is a performance artist and Photoshop expert,
placing himself into luxury photoshoots and fashion shows using the clout of the
Kardashian/Jenner clan to grow his audience.

He integrates himself seamlessly and is able to fool the average person into thinking
he was really on the red carpet that night. This ongoing art project has gained 
massive online attention since its inception in 2015. Now with 1.1 million followers
including Kendall and Kylie themselves, he has a significantly larger online influence
than the _actual_ Kardashian brother, Rob.

PeopleStanding is another very specific, curated Instagram account. However, instead
of its content originating from one creator, all of the posts since the account’s
inception are submitted from users around the world. See someone standing in a weird
way? DM them a picture and you could be on the account!

This community-oriented work of art is light-hearted and humorous, and it brings
users together through their shared photography of people standing really, really
strangely.

On my personal social media accounts, I often feel pressured to post different kinds
of content to appeal to a wider audience. However, these Instagrams are successful
because they’re doing the _exact opposite_. They’re authentic and interesting with
a narrow focus. A community has been built around all of these ongoing art projects,
whether through submitting photos or just enjoying the works together.

Don’t be afraid to share your unique interests on social—you could build a community
of your own!
