“Art is an effort to create, beside the real world, a more humane world.”–Andre Maurois.

These past two years have been an eye-opener for many of us regarding the necessity of artin our lives and society. Even though artists are not given their fair share of recognition, they continue to reach out to people through their works.

Even though a lot has since improved, there is still a long way to go for a whole-hearted acceptance of the arts in society.

A lot of people have a subscription to streaming sites and enjoy music while working. But little do they know that artists can’t continue their work without support from the masses.

In this feature, we shed light on ways you can help support the art community and help sustain the magic of creativity and the therapeutic effectit has.

1. Buy/Commission Artwork From Artists

One of the easiest ways you can contribute is by buying art pieces. It could be from any local or international artist, but its significance will be reflected in where you choose to place it.

You can also commission custom art pieces onlineor in person. It’s a great way to personalize the art in your way.

Art will always liven up the place, whether you place it at your home or your work desk!

2. Donate to Charities and Organizations

Many charity organizations are working to promote art and fight against misconceptions that stigmatize the domain and community. Art organizations are often underfunded, and financial assistance would mean that they can continue obtaining art and setting up exhibitions, etc.

3. Attend Art Exhibitions

Not only is this a cool date idea, but it’s also a way to show solidarity with the art community. Attending art exhibitions is a learning experience as you get to explore various artists, their style of work, inspirations behind particular pieces, etc.

Who knows, maybe you’ll end up taking something home!
