Startup funds for an art store that supports local artists

Hey guys, we’re Kean Dale and Rebecca Hall and we need your help with creating new opportunities for local artists.

Your donations will help fund:

We want to open a brick and mortar store in Starkville, MS that aims to bridge the gap between local artists and everyday art lovers. Many artists are only able to display their handmade artwork at events like art fairs and festivals or online. We will provide artists and art enthusiasts the experience of attending your favorite art festival year-round.

Artists are three times more likely to commit suicide, ten times more likely to experience depression and twenty times more likely to suffer from manic depressive illness. Without local artists, our world would be devoid of the beautiful, artistic creations that surround our daily lives.

We intend to make regular donations to the nonprofit, Artist 4 Mental Health.

Show your support for local artists by helping us support and promote future art professionals and finally put an end to the term ‘starving’ and ‘tortured’ artists.

We want to create partnerships with local artists in order to support and promote the art community.
