Acting as a backbone to the independent art communities and artists.

In this unprecedented time, our daily routines continue to adjust virtually as the world resumes living in times of COVID-19.

As people self-quarantine, workshops, and freelance gigs are put on hold, people across all sectors are experiencing income loss and delayed work. They have to adapt to a new style of working for their online business. Most professions started showing growth as the lockdown eased, but creators still face some difficulty adjusting. Although they have already begun to adapt to the changes and brought their practices online, many still have trouble with technology or are simply unable to adjust to these sudden changes.

The significant cancellation of in-person events has affected many businesses, including independent artists, who rely on events, workshops, gigs, and physical locations to earn revenue. Now, more than ever, it has become vital to offer support to impacted groups if you can.

Covid restrictions have already caused a lot of harm to the artist community. Many aspiring and budding creators switched their paths and entered something that would help them create exclusive content to earn a livelihood. For instance, a school music teacher who was laid to shorten up the staff was severely affected, and to compensate for the loss, he has now opened a departmental shop which helps him pay his bills but at the expense of giving up his passion for music.

If these situations kept growing, we would face a significant loss of art and artists shortly. Therefore, it becomes essential that there exists a creator-friendly support system for creators. Meanwhile, reaching out to undiscovered content creators can really give you a hard time. But cheers to Memboro for assisting here; they contact creators all over India and regulate a smooth reaching out process. Memboro creates a community that keeps on adding new creators to the group; therefore helping artists grow and fans find new art pieces to enjoy.

Here are a few ways that you can continue to support the arts and contribute to a healthy cultural community while practising safety norms!

1. Buy artwork directly from an artist using the internet

Public galleries or exhibitions have always been a hotspot for art lovers, but this pandemic narrates the story differently.

Although you cannot go to galleries in person or attend art openings, you can still view work online. Buying and renting art online is increasingly being appreciated and is being widely used. Connecting directly to the artists has never been this easy.

Unsure about where you can buy art? Find artists on Memboro; it provides credibility and safe transactions, so you can rest assured that your purchase goes directly to that artist while ensuring complete transparency. Also, it gives a perfect blend of trust and work between the art lover and the artist, allowing them to make commissions that offer customised and personal work.

2. Spread the joy by giving gift cards!

A recent trend encourages people to buy gift cards for their local cafes, bars, and stores to help them through these hard times; you can also buy gift cards to purchase art from an independent artist.

A gift card is a great way to help artists financially, therefore, ease their burden, and bring joy to someone who might need a little pick-up motivation during this time.

Presenting a gift card to someone can make them happy and is a great way to advertise and promote the art created by your favourite artist. But, there are times we get incapable of connecting to our favourite artists, or reaching out to them looks like a pretty tough job.

But kudos to you! You can use memboro to bridge that gap, created in a manner that provides connections. It offers ways in which a fan can reach out to the creator.

3. Offer fan arts to encourage morale

Who doesn’t like to be appreciated!

Admire something the way it should be, praise the unique art they present but not being flattered at the same time. Presenting art in itself is an act of turning vague feelings, disjointed ideas, and fuzzy hunches into one meaningful story. And it becomes much more special when we’re writing to someone we look up to. Therefore, sending fan mails is one great way to appreciate an artist and applaud for the kind of work they present; this not only cheers them up but even encourages morale.

Memboro even assists here!

It offers a feature called cheer jar where we can appreciate the creators by giving them a personalised note and some monetary help which starts from a minimal amount of 50 and rises to a limit of 10,000.

4. Attend art exhibits and openings virtually

When in-person gatherings are not happening that doesn’t mean you cannot see art or enjoy an opening. In response to event closures, institutions and individuals are getting creative about sharing their work with the world without any restrictions.

Embrace the accessibility of online exhibits and openings and “attend” virtually.

In Hong Kong, the art world is coming together to live stream gallery visits and artists interact online. Crack open a bottle of soda and try your hand at participating in the art world from your couch in your comfort is the best benefit we can get in these tough times.

5.Participate in online art and craft workshops.

Selling art isn’t the only way that artists support themselves. Many artists teach or travel to workshops. Many even work for charity events spreading pleasure of art to people, but conferences and workshops are on hold, and in-person events are cancelled; hence classes are also moving to the online medium.

Memboro even has a discord feature where both the artists and the creators can come on board “virtually “and attend classes and workshops.

Are there classes online where you can learn a new art skill or try your hand at some new technique?

We all love adding exclusive cute looking decor items to our showcase. Especially in the era where we spend most of the time inside our house/room, we feel the need to beautify the place and give it a new look. Since there are restrictions on going out or meeting people, these decors cost way too many bucks. Therefore, it provides the best excuse for learning some new skill or maybe resharpening the blunt talent, reusing and pulling out the hidden Picasso.

So, let’s try using this time to learn something new, support other artists, and experience art from your home.

Memboro serves to be the best platform in today’s market and proves to be the best prop for being the backbone to the independent art communities and artists.
