It doesn't even take $100/mo like the other commenter says. It takes about $10/mo to have a website that would be completely capable of displaying "art" to however many people you can convince to look at it. It's simple too. It's just that the network effect of megacorp social media means you won't actually get many random arbitrary visitors and you won't have a way to monetize easily. So if you just care about art and not about monetizing you're art there's no problem. Should be good. If your goal is only money then, yes, you have to stick to the marketplaces.
