Artists supporting artists matters.
Creating is a part of the human condition, but it comes with its challenges when an artist has the goal of supporting themselves through art-making. Making art takes time, mental and sometimes physical energy, and persistence. Figuring out how to support yourself financially while doing the thing you love isn’t easy. We have the opportunity to support other artists at the shop, and value is shown in action.
Artists are welcome to display their work with their Venmo QR code, and anyone interested in purchasing buys directly from the artist. 100% of sales goes to the artists. I can do this at the shop because I support myself through my own art. If you support these values, considering booking a piece of your own at Smith Rock Tattoo Co.
If you value art but can’t afford to support financially, share the post of an artist you love, recommend them to a friend, show up to their exhibitions, leave a kind comment or review, and celebrate their hard work.
If you’re interested in putting up a piece or two in the shop, text or email Mary. Thanks for your support!
