community supported art
Community Supported Art (CSA) is a model where individuals invest directly in local artists by purchasing memberships or subscriptions. In return, supporters receive a regular share of artwork, such as paintings, prints, or mixed media pieces, over a set period. This approach fosters a direct relationship between artists and the community, providing artists with dependable funding and patrons with exclusive access to new art. CSA helps sustain local creative careers while allowing community members to actively participate in the arts, making art acquisition more accessible and personalized.
