Support the Arts


Most artists work for the love of the craft they do. So I say go to a gallery opening, an art show, visit a place where local artists sell their work. My favorite way to support the arts is by going to see live music. There is nothing better than seeing greats musicians at small venues. They and the crowd feed off each other and a good time is had by all. The other thing you must do is buy their work. They all work for the love of it and would do it for free, however buying something they have created it good for you and for them. One of the things I do when I go on vacation is look to buy some type of art from a local artist. It does not need to be much. A piece of pottery, a small painting, local music, photographs from a local artist. These are much better ways to have a lasting memory from your vacation than a t-shirt.
