PATRON BENEFITS

SUPPORT A LOCAL ARTIST

Artists need so much support for what they are doing. When you become a Studio Direct Patron you are assisting an artist in the production of new works. You will share in their success, and take pride in knowing that your contribution has lead to a year’s worth of art making.

EXPERIENCE ART IN A NEW WAY

It is a rare opportunity to experience art from the studio side of things. You’ll have a chance to closely learn about the artistic process and develop a new appreciation for everything that goes into a piece of artwork.

LEAD TO A GROWING INVESTMENT

A strong network of support is the most important thing an artist needs. Through the Studio Direct program you’ll be helping the artist meet new buyers and find new opportunities. The more you can assist with this, the more you’ll see the value of your investment grow.

SHOW OFF YOUR WORK IN CONTEXT

Usually when you purchase a piece of art at a gallery or exhibition you bring it to your home or office and display it on your wall for friends and family to appreciate. You know where the piece came from and have seen a larger body of work by the artist, but they have not. Studio Direct gives you an opportunity to show off your purchased artwork in the larger context of an exhibition by inviting people to the artists’ studio.

EXPLORE SHARED INTERESTS

Through the Studio Direct program, you’ll meet other Patrons that are fans of the artist’s work. Not only will you discover new ways of looking at the art in front of you, but these conversations will lead to new artists to research and enjoy.
