We can find art everywhere, and consciously or unconsciously, we benefit from it all the time. Whether is a painting beautifying your living room, or the abstract wallpaper on your electronic devices, all of it comes from someone who is either self-taught or spend a few years in college.

On Instagram, we can also find everything, from Latinx-owned small business to experts of digital art. This platform has helped millions of people to build their careers, share their talents plus inspire and educate others.
