We all know the slogan ‘buy local, support local’ and this also applies to artworks. Through
buying a local artists work not only are you supporting Canadian artists, but the galleries that in
turn support them by showcasing their work.
An additional benefit is that the artwork piece you buy is not mass produced. You possess a
unique piece of art, which as well as beautiful is a talking point and a treasured item. In buying
these pieces you are ensuring artists receive fair compensation, enabling them to sustain their
careers.
Local art galleries give emerging and established artists a crucial platform with exhibitions,
special workshops and giving you the ability to connect with them directly.
With strong community support Canadian artists can push their artistic boundaries with new
ideas giving rise to art reflecting Canada’s uniqueness and cultural and regional identity.
You also support the independent galleries and keep money in the local creative community,
thus allowing a thriving economy to fund future exhibitions, and art programs.
At Picture This Gallery our knowledgeable staff will guide and advise you of the individual artists, their
subject matter, mediums used and their artistic story. Giving you a rare and wonderful insight into the
people, who create these stunning art pieces.
