How to Support Your Favorite Artists (Besides Buying Art!)

December 04, 2022 in Acquire Art, Art Biz Advice, YouTube Videos

Aloha artists and art lovers! If you are like me you love the feeling of supporting your fave artists and small creators, but sometimes we are on a tight budget (or let’s face, could never begin to afford allll the art that tickles our fancy!) and need to find other productive ways to show them we care!

Well luckily for all of us there are actually a number of ways you can show your support that cost absolutely nothing, or at least nothing more than you would have spent anyway on things you need.

7 Ways to Support Artists (other than buying art!)

  1. Bring friends to our openings and exhibitions (even if it’s a small one!) to introduce then to out art in a meaningful way.

  2. Talk us up if you hear of any artistic opportunities or gigs, or if you hear a friend or family member is looking for original or custom artwork.

  3. Forward us artistic opportunities you happen upon or that come across your radar, even if there’s no firsthand connection.

  4. Sign up for our newsletters and be active on our social media posts. The more meaningful the comments, the better :)

  5. Share our work (with credit) on your socials occasionally.

  6. Suggest our art, prints, or merch as gifts in conversation with others just like you would suggest a retail store if you hear someone saying they are looking for “the perfect item.”

  7. Purchase products from companies that sponsor us through ads or product placement as it really helps show that we are great creators to work with who have audiences that buy.


And if you'd like to support this small artist, here are some links to do so: Thank you so much for being so generous with your time!🎨💖
