How can you help an artist survive and thrive?
First by purchasing their work. Some friends cannot afford to financially support their favorite artists, but there are other ways to lend support.
Share an artist’s work with your friends, co-workers, family and with those who can afford to own original art. These days it is so easy to share via social media, texting, and email.
Most professional artists have web sites. The more you share with others who respect your opinion, the better chances the artist has to sell.
Purchase a small gift card for art supplies to give to your artist friend.
Host an art opening party for your favorite artist at your home or business. Offer to hang their work for the party in your home or office. Once a friend hosted my first cake party at her home.
Send the artist a glowing testimonial for their web site.
Putting the word out consistently and often about how much you love an artist’s work does more good than anything they could do for business.
Country painters love their friends…….
