Buying From Living Artists is a Big Deal
Art has played a vital role in human history, serving as a means of communication, expression, and understanding. It has served as a means for people to express their cultural, political, social or economic identity, beliefs, and values. Art has the ability to evoke strong emotions and to connect with people on a personal level. Whether it’s through a painting, sculpture, or performance, art can resonate with people in a way that goes beyond words.
When you buy from living artists, you are purchasing far more than a work of art - you are supporting a thriving part of your world and community. You are paying for the culmination of work you don’t see - the scraps of paper crumpled up, the days of frustration that create growth, the endless lessons and practice that yield no satisfying result nor income. By supporting living artists, you are not only enriching your home but are saying yes to supporting individuals, small business, community members, and creatives - not just large companies doing mass-market reproductions.
