How To Buy Affordable Art Direct
From Artist
The best way to invest and save money. Owning an original piece of art is definitely affordable, if
you know where to look. So many people wish they could buy a one of a kind, but assume it is far out of
their price range.
This is not the case if you familiarize yourself with the local art community in your area. Often, for a fraction of
the cost of the works by more well known artists, you can
purchase unique originals by locals. Not only do you acquire
a beautiful piece of art, but support your home community
as well.
Don't know where to start? Here are some suggestions:
1) Siesta Key Farmers Market operates every Sunday from 8:00am to
2:00pm. Here you will find Paris born Vanessa
Simonard and Lloyd Dobson local Siesta Key - Sarasota artist with their original artwork ready for you to
decorate your walls.
2) You can go online to purchase their work as well at the following websites: wwwVanessaSimonard.blogspo
t.com
www.LloydDobsonArtist.com (Click on Fine Art Gallery
tab)
www.SiestaKeyBlueWave.com (Click on Art/Products
tab)
3) Local Art Galleries, Custom Frame Shops,
College Art Departments, Restaurants & Coffee House
and Art Guilds.These are a just a few outlets to follow when
looking for local art, but be creative. Boutiques,
libraries and art & craft fairs are all are possible
avenues to try.
The more you frequent local establishments, the better
your chances of discovering unique and affordable art created by someone who might be your neighbor.
Spending money locally shows pride in your
community culture and local products. As a person who lives in the area you are more apt to locally
recirculate money spent with you on your art in the
form of purchases from other local business, thus supporting the local work
force.
When you give some of that money to local charities,
even if it's just the local boy or girl scout troop, or
maybe the local food bank you are keeping money
spent with you in movement. It's a monetary
loop that keeps people working to make the goods they and others purchase.
"I'm an artist, not a business person", you shout. Well, I hate to break this to you, but anyone who wants to
sell art is in business.
According to Wikipedia, "a business (also known as enterprise or firm) is
an organization or person engaged in the trade or
sale of goods, services, or both to consumers”
Business is NOT a dirty word. Businesses allow us as consumers to buy food, clothes, and gas. It allows us to find a place to live
(real estate sales and rentals), and most likely it employs a lot of us who are not fortunate enough to be able to make a living selling our art. There is that word
"sell" again.
