Reflection of the Group

3. You can show your appreciation to them by sharing their art in social media. Tell about the artist and where it came from. Follow and support the artist. As a community, it is important to support local artists because, without local citizen support, the art they make would cease to make the impact it could make. When you support the local artist community, you are supporting all of our respective creative freedom. Local artists add more than just pretty pictures to your community so it's important to continue supporting them. Many artists have a true passion for making their own communities a better place to live through their artwork. Not supporting their efforts can hurt their attempts to make things better for your own life. If you've never considered doing more to support artists around you now is the time to learn about what you can do personally. You can find ways to support artists that work for you, but doing more for your local art community in any manner is always a step forward. No one ever regrets being more supportive of artists. Its always a great thing for you and for the artists you support....
