In a world where ai art is changing the whole nature of art, it’s important to emphasize the higher roll of art in society. Art rarely get's it's due until something is so widely recognized as important that it permeates every iteration on shirts, umbrellas, shopping bags etc.
I have always felt that Artists were like the Shaman of times past, who guided the tribe to new visions of reality and who were in contact with a deeper vision of life bringing a sense of spirituality and connectedness to the tribe.
Not all art reaches this level or plays this roll in a society but there is a divine aspect to Art through out history that we can't ignore. Art has the power to communicate our emotions and thoughts, without the need for words.
Mighty Wallet understands the power of art and its ability to bring people together and change our perspective. That’s why we created a line of Artist Wallets, called Artist Collective, which features the work of some of the world’s most talented artists creating unique eco-friendly Artists Wallets.
With each purchase, you’re not only getting a stylish wallet, but you’re also supporting the artist who created it. The direct financial support for each sale goes to the Artist and you end up carrying that Artist's work out into the world.
The Importance of Supporting Artists
Unfortunately, artists are often undervalued or worse, their artworks can be digitally copied and stolen, or with Ai mimicked to the point of infringement. Now is more important than ever to support artists. By investing in artists and the arts, we not only nurture creative expression but also enrich the communities we live in.
At their highest levels, artists play a vital role in society, giving our contemporary experience meaning and context and their contributions should be celebrated.
By supporting artists, we are supporting the expression of ideas that can be shared for generations to come. We are investing in our present but also investing in the future, as artists often go on to inspire other artists with their work.
If you love the arts, consider supporting artists in your community. There are many ways to do this, from attending art exhibitions and concerts to donating to arts organizations. By investing in the arts, we can make our lives and communities more vibrant and beautiful.
What Artists Bring to Society
Picasso once said, "Art is a lie that makes us realize truth, at least the truth that is given us to understand."
For centuries, artists have been at the forefront of social change. They've used their talents to raise awareness of important issues and to challenge the status quo. Artists have the power to inspire and ignite the imaginations of people around the world capturing arresting images that stay with us forever.
Throughout history, artists have played a vital role in shaping the world we live in.
They continue to do so today and will continue to do so in the future. In their most vital societal role Artists bring visions from beyond into our tribe, community and culture, shaping it, challenging it, and refining it to be a better reflection of ourselves, at least that which is given to us to understand.
Ways to Support Artists - Artist Collective Mighty Wallets
Artists have always struggled to make a living but with the rise of digital media, it's easier than ever for people to consume art without paying for it. This has made it even harder for artists to make a living from their work while at the same time paradoxically making their art more easily distributed and well known.
As an Artist myself I know what it's like to struggle to make the ends meet. Before starting Dynomighty I was the literal "starving artist" in NYC with a romantic notion of breaking through the Art Scene and becoming one of the few celebrated Artists.
That's why for me it was important to find a way to support artists with Mighty Wallet and help them on their path to making a living from their work. You might not be able to afford to buy a painting but you can buy a wallet printed with their work.
The Mighty Wallet also becomes a vehicle for introducing more people to an artist's work when someone inevitably asks you "wow, how cool is that your wallet?".
The Impact of Supporting Artists
Artists and the arts play a vital role in our society, providing a source of creativity and expression that can be enjoyed but did you know that the arts also have a significant impact on the economy?
According to a study by the National Endowment for the Arts, the arts and culture sector generated $763.6 billion in economic activity in the United States in 2017. The study also found that the arts supported 4.6 million full-time jobs in the U.S. in 2017.
So next time you're enjoying a performance or admiring a painting, remember that the arts are not only a source of enjoyment but also a major driver of the economy. Art benefits the bottom line while also giving us the ability to dream beyond them.
Bring Art into your life - Put some Art in your Everyday Carry and spread some magic around.
Supporting Artists and the Arts does lead to a more fulfilling society and culture which can shape and define our generation.
This can be done in the simplest of ways, including buying their products, attending their events, and sharing their work. Mighty wallets are a great way to support artists while also getting a stylish and useful wallet that itself feels like a piece of paper that just might have been drawn on.
As the inventor of Mighty Wallet, I can't help but appreciate how my journey has gone full circle from being a struggling artist to becoming an established entrepreneur who is now supporting other Artists. That's part of what it means to BE MIGHTY to me, do the most, with what you got, where you are - that's just what Artist's do everyday.
Support one of the Artists of our new series, buy a wallet, buy a few and give them out as gifts - share their works on social media and give them a follow on their journey. Your contribution will enrichen yourself, the artist and our community as a whole.
