Digital Solutions Business Feature: Andre Sardone

“When I heard of the Digital Solutions program, I thought it was something that could help.” Andre took advantage of the mentoring sessions offered by the program with an expert in social media.

“Through my sessions with Bryley, I learnt a lot about the differences between various social media platforms and how to best use these to present my work.”

As a consequence of the pandemic, all the exhibitions Andre had planned for 2020 were cancelled. The only place he could display his work was online.

“The things I learned through the Digital Solutions certainly helped me in this transition,” he says. “It helped me work out what I wanted to achieve from my social media. Sales were not my highest priority—it was more about promoting awareness of my artwork and inspiring people to follow their passions.”

Despite the challenges Andre faced in 2020, he remains certain about the purpose and transformative power of his work. “Art can turn an unused space into a place where people want to be,” he says, “and give them a connection to that space.”

“I’m working hard to follow my path and bring my art to the world.”
