The other day I told you about Providence’s Buy Art Initiative, an arts advocacy campaign as creative as the capitol city itself!
Currently in it’s fifth year, the
city commissions five local artists to design special limited edition ‘I Buy
Art’ buttons following
an open submission and juried selection process. The buttons have become a collectors item
among the city’s creative circles, and you have your chance to see the original
artwork and meet this year’s selected artists from 5 to 8 tonight at Craftland!
A
participant in the Buy Art from the very start, Craftland is also the perfect
place to get a jump on your holiday shopping (which I for one need to get going
on!). My article in this month’s issue
of Providence Monthly, aptly titled “The Art of Gifting,” explains why giving
art benefits everyone this holiday season.
Not only are you buying and supporting local, but you are guaranteed to
be giving a gift just as unique as the individual you’re giving to. “Art” is broadly defined by the Buy Art
initiative, and by my own standards, ensuring there’s a gift suited to everyone
on your list. From performance tickets
to museum memberships, photography classes to silk screen tees, Buy Art encourages
you to think outside of the wish list and get your loved ones something they’ll
really love this year!
Read
my article on Buy Art in this month’s issue of Providence Monthly, and join me
tonight for a special artists’ reception at Craftland, 235 Westminster Street, Providence, 5-8PM.
