Why Buy Art?

This weekend I picked up the 2012-2013 West Michigan Art Guide (ah, if only I had time and money...).  On one of the pages they have an article, Why Buy Art? This (along with why buy handmade) is something I try to stress with friends and strangers alike. Here are a few of the reasons that I can relate to the most:

• Transport you to other places
• Inspire your creativity
• Change your attitude for the better
• Bring beauty joy and conversation into your life
