Valley Artist Directory
Discover valley artists, buy a piece of art, a print, jewelry, music, a chapbook, or other unique creation, or commission a custom piece. Many artists have experienced a big loss of income due to cancelled shows and events, closing of artspaces and venues that sell or show their work, and many artists have been ineligible for unemployment benefits. Let's help support the creative people that contribute so much to life in the valley ❤ buy local. support artists. spread the love.
HOW TO BE LISTED: send me: Your name, biz name (if you use a biz name), town/city, what you do (painter, sculptor, jewelry maker, musician/band, quiltmaker, illustrator, poet, etc - please keep this to a few words / one sentence for now). And your website link(s) of course so people can see and buy your work. It's going to be very simple for now to keep it manageable. Only requirement is that you're located in the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts (hampshire, hampden and franklin counties). Note: Galleries, arts venues, and small shops selling the work of local artists and makers are also welcome to send me details. Bear with me as I figure out how to best list everyone.
This is a work in progress, so keep checking back as more artists are added. The plan for this page right now is to be a way we can support each other and hopefully generate some online sales and support for valley artists. Future plans are to make this a more comprehensive directory, with images and a page per artist, but wanted to get something up quick for now ❤
