Community Supported Art (CSA)

Community Supported Art (CSA) is a model that connects artists directly with local supporters. People purchase a “membership” or subscription at the start of a season, providing artists with financial support upfront. In return, subscribers receive a regular selection of original artwork or art-related experiences throughout the season. This approach fosters a direct relationship between artists and their community, helping artists sustain their practice and encouraging local cultural engagement. CSA models can vary but aim to make art more accessible while supporting artists financially and creatively.
