If we're assuming you live in an accessible area with many opportunities for artists then sky's the limit. I've seen many people host their own events through renting a space for a week or simply joining mass collaborative events with many people showing their art of all skill levels at once for a day or two. I'm confident you will find an in-person audience but you should think about how you'll present your work.

I apologize if what I've said isn't helpful, the whole process is straightforward but can easily get nuanced depending on what issues come up (be it costs, the host, the location itself, etc.). What's familiar to you and what's still foreign? I'm sure you can get your foot in the door by talking to other artists and gallery hosts in your area.

(illegible ^) The idea of an in-person gallery dedicated to neocities artists sounds fun. I wonder how much you could mess with it if you allow the showcase to be interactive (might require some more-elaborate-than-usual planning though).
The most basic way I can think of having a newsletter is creating a form in which people can privately hand in their emails to you. You can use other sites to create said form or code one yourself into your website (https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_forms.asp), then you simply add all emails as recipients to whatever you'd like to say. Does that help?
You can mess with this further by making it so that users can't see the emails of others within the messages you send but that depends on what service you're using (its a conscious issue with gmail that you'll need to manually fix).
@101-flaws-in-his-requiem this is exactly what im looking for. i would likely be using protonmail. What would be the safest way of going about this as to not reveal anyones info? Im pretty degoogled and i try to keep as private as i can online. Thank you so much
I unfortunately have yet to switch over to proton so I cannot help with the specifics of that service. The closest thing I can find as of now is the "group" feature but its not spot-on to what I've previously refereed to.
