Starting an art collection doesn’t require a fat wallet.

Try these budget-friendly ideas:
1. Buy from local art fairs and makers markets. You’ll find unique pieces and support creatives.
2. Check out print shops. Many artists sell affordable prints of their work online.
3. Frame postcards, posters, or fabric swatches. Instant, personal, and inexpensive.
4. Use digital art platforms. Sites like Society6, Redbubble, and Etsy offer great pieces for less.
5. Make your own. DIY abstract paintings or photo collages can be both personal and stylish.

Building a collection should be about joy, not pressure. Start with one piece you love — the rest will follow
