What does this mean, "deliberate community"?
Well, I believe we all thrive when we help each other, and it's been more important than ever in the age of mega corporations to support our local businesses. So I work with a few stores near me in Grand Rapids, MI to display my art, and if something sells, they get to keep 30-40% of the sale. This collab helps us both, and brings my art to more of my neighbors.
"But I'm not in Grand Rapids! Can I still buy your art?" --> Absolutely! Send me a message and we'll work something out.
