April 15th is World Art Day, a day to celebrate creativity in all forms and to acknowledge the talent of those who bring their creativity to life!
Both the art world and the small business world are connected! Many small business owners are not only courageous entrepreneurs, but they are also talented artists! Choosing to shop small among all of its other incredible impacts and benefits is also a way for you as a consumer to support local artists and join us in celebrating them!
