5 WAYS YOU CAN SUPPORT LOCAL ARTISTS
Art and the appreciation of art have always centered around humanity and community. From cave drawings to today’s very popular NFTs, art and society have always acted as a mirror to the other. Even in times of hardship, art has the ability to bring people together, and its impact on society is undeniable. Local artists are a huge part of this fabric, and we must do our part to support them any way we can.
Here are five simple ways you can support your local artists.
It’s never been easier to purchase your favorite artist’s work, you can buy their pieces online! Many established artists have their own websites or purchase your favorite canvas art from AmericanEyez.

Show your support to your favorite local artists by attending in-person events. From viewing their work in art galleries to attending art fairs and craft shows, whenever possible try to attend an event to show your support. Don’t forget to mention how much you love their work, a small compliment can go a long way!
Like, share & comment! Social media is a great way for people to discover the artist and their work. Constantly engaging with their content can really support their creative endeavors and spread the word too. Reviews can also make a world of a difference for many artists, so be sure you show your support by commenting on their social media or giving them 5-stars on Facebook or similar sites.
Of course, purchasing your local artist’s work is a wonderful way for you to show your appreciation, but did you know that commissions are an even better way to keep an artist financially stable? Most commissions ask for a 50% deposit when placing your orders, while the remaining 50% is paid upon delivery. This difference can have a significant impact on artists, especially if their work requires expensive materials.
One of the easiest and most direct ways you can support local artists is by donating money to help encourage them to keep their work going. With platforms like Patreon gaining popularity, it’s become incredibly easy to donate to your local artists. Alternatively, you could purchase their work from AmericanEyez that give back a portion of their profits to the artists and the community.
Ultimately, by showing support to your local community of passionate artists, you’re making the world a far more vibrant, inclusive, and better place. Our main goal at AmericanEyez is to display canvas prints that celebrate unique identities, empower both you and the artist, and of course, create a sense of community by giving back 33.33% of our profits.
