Buying from local artists, and local small businesses keeps the money here where we need it.
one place not well known is Blackwell automotive in eastgate town center. They have donated their waiting room to the Photographic Society of Chattanooga to use as a gallery for photographs.
Its hard to give a painting or large photo as a gift, (limited wall space in everyone's home) but what about a portrait session? Haircut? manicure? Tattoo? etc. Keeping the money local isn't really all that hard once you think about it.
even buying from foreign manufacturers, If I buy my Nikon parts from Superior Camera, the profit from that sale stays local.
need Prints? why not Art Warehouse? Tons more local businesses we need to support.
