Business Bonus - Announcing Artists Sundays

Artists Sunday is a nationwide alliance of professional artists, non-profit agencies, community organizations, and sponsors encouraging consumers to shop with artists and craftsmen. This artist-focused day takes place the Sunday after Thanksgiving – the busiest shopping weekend of the year. Shoppers support local professional artists, find unique, personal gifts for their loved ones, and invest in art that has a lasting legacy. Free Participation

Participants receive a comprehensive marketing toolkit to generate buzz and awareness as the holiday season approaches. A national public relations campaign will focus consumer attention on the effort with the goal of expanding beyond traditional art buyers and bringing new customers to artists and craftsmen.  For the Artists on Main Street. Artists representing a wide variety of mediums are also welcome to join for free. All participating artists are included in the Artists Sunday Directory, a resource allowing consumers to search for artists by name, type of work and city, state and country. If an artist has a Facebook, Instagram or Twitter account, those icons will appear with their listing. Sign up as an artist here.
