Did you know that a thousand streams of a song pay the artist only $4 on Spotify? In today's fast-paced late capitalism, many avenues of supporting an artist have opened up. The upside to it is that while streaming platforms and online marketplaces increase the popularity of an artist, the downside is that a sizeable share of the artist’s income goes to the companies. There is a thriving art and culture scene in our country and with the help of the internet, the artists’ visibility has increased tenfold. The best pay to support an artist is to buy their merchandise, their new album, their new wall art, and so much more creations directly from the artists themselves. Let us explore some artists from around the country whose merchandise are available for sprucing up your home with beautiful paintings or funky pop posters, getting a new customized digitally illustrated sweatshirt for your winter look, or just for pleasing your aesthetics:
