There has been a discussion going on for a while on Etsy they could can improve its coverage of art. The basic premise is that when Etsy refers to art it ignores much of what is on the site, favouring twee or quirky illustrations and reproduction prints when selecting for its front page or in other promotional activity
The thread starts here:
http://www.etsy.com/teams/7714/ideas/discuss/9472004/page/1/
As part of the discussion and in order to widen the scope we are having a 24 hr round the world tweetathon using the Twitter hashtag #etsyandart.
Please join in with ideas, links or anything else that seems relevant.
I'm not looking for comments to this post for once (although if you can contribute no other way please feel free to do so) so if you want to join in the discussion go the thread above and/or join in on Twitter.
