Artist Sunday: Celebrate Creativity, Support Local Talent

Today we lift up the makers, dreamers, painters, photographers, sculptors, writers, and creators who turn ideas into beauty. Artist Sunday is about choosing creativity, choosing community, and choosing to support the hands and hearts behind the art.

When you shop from an artist, you’re not just buying a piece. You’re investing in someone’s passion, fueling their craft, and helping keep local art alive.

So today, pause, explore, and find something inspiring.
Support an artist. Share their work. Celebrate creativity.

Artists & Creators:
Drop your links, pages, shops, or portfolios in the comments! Let’s shine a spotlight on your work.

Buy Art. Give Art. Live Art.

🧡 Thank You, Elgin! 🧡

Thanks to the incredible response from our amazing community, we’ve officially reached our limit for rummage sale donations! If you’ve already arranged a drop-off time, we’re still expecting you — but we’re no longer able to accept additional items at this time.

Our volunteers are hard at work sorting and pricing everything to get ready for the big day — though we’re always down for a good offer! 😉

Keep an eye out for more chances to donate, volunteer, and join in the fun in the near future.
