5. Attend as many local exhibitions as you can. Take photos and send them to us, or post them on the Bmoreart Facebook page. More participation, coverage, and documentation = a richer arts experience for everyone.
6. PURCHASE original, local works of art! I don’t care if you buy out of a gallery, an artist’s studio, museum gift shop, or craft show, but please realize the huge significance of this act. There is a ripple effect from one local arts purchase to the next. Whenever I sell a piece of art, I spend a part of the money on a work by a local artist.
7. Get Involved! Volunteer, Intern, Exhibit, Curate, and Write! This makes your brain sharper, your heart happier, your body invigorated, and your circle of friends richer. Bmoreart is always looking for contributors and interns.
