How can I run a live art show by myself without a team to help?

Keep it simple and use two devices: your laptop and your phone. Position them side by side so both cameras point at you. Go live on one platform (like Facebook) using your laptop, and simultaneously go live on another platform (like Instagram) using your phone. You’ll manage both audiences at once. It’s okay to tell viewers you’re setting up both streams—authenticity matters more than high production value. Your audience knows you’re a solo artist, and they’ll appreciate the genuine effort. Start on one platform to test, then add the second when you’re comfortable. You don’t need fancy equipment; just press ‘go live,’ greet people as they join, and interact naturally by reading and responding to comments from both screens.
