How many of you have heard of Artist Sunday?⁠
⁠
Artist Sunday is a post-Thanksgiving tradition that encourages consumers to shop locally and support artists and cultural venues. By participating, the community can continue to inspire connections and celebrate local creative talent.⁠
⁠
5 Ways to Support Artists:⁠
⁠
1. Shop Local: Purchase artwork directly from local artists at galleries, markets, and studios. This doesn't just have to be paintings; it can be tickets to the theatre or a concert and much more. ⁠
⁠
2. Share the Love: Follow and promote local artists on social media. A simple share can make a huge difference!⁠
⁠
3. Attend Art Events: Check out local exhibitions, art shows, and creative gatherings.

4. Commission a Piece: Consider hiring a local artist for a custom artwork, mural, or design project.⁠
⁠
5. Give Art as Gifts: Instead of mass-produced items, choose unique, handmade gifts that support local creativity.
