How do I prepare for and promote an art show on social media in the days leading up to it?

In the week before your show, create awareness through both Reels and Stories. For Reels, show your preparation process — loading artwork, packing supplies, studio prep — edited into engaging short videos with invitations to attend. Post these every couple of days. For Stories, post daily updates: selfies with your packed car, booth setup progress, countdowns to the event. Always include clear information about date, time, and location. If you’re running a giveaway or special promotion during the show, announce it repeatedly in both formats and remind people it’s happening. Be very obvious and direct with all event details — assume people need to hear it multiple times before it registers.
