I recieved the nicest letter from a shopper on Artfire. I had to share it. It made my year.
Hello I am a new shopper to artfire after having been on Etsy this is a nice site. I ran across your shop and wanted to compliment you on your work. I LOVE necklaces and the bedrock necklace caught my eye among other items. My girlfriend, who is an artist, just signed up on a site www.narvla.com and entered their nationwide artist search you should check it out your designs are awesome! I am still finding my way around the site but wanted to give you a thumbs up:) Sally

ten simple ways
Ten Simple Ways Parents Can Get More Art in Their Kids’ Lives
Enjoy the arts together. Sing, play music, read a book, dance, or draw with your child at home.
Encourage your child to participate in the arts and celebrate their participation in or out of school.
Explore your community’s library and read “the classics” together—from Mother Goose to Walt Whitman.
Read your local newspaper to find out about attending local arts events like museum exhibits, local plays, festivals, or outdoor concerts.
Tell your child’s teacher, principal, and school leadership that the arts are vital to your child’s success and an important part of a quality education. Find out if your school has sufficient resources for arts education, including qualified teachers and materials. If not, offer to help.
Contact your local arts organizations to inquire about the arts education programs they offer either during school hours or after school. Volunteer to donate time, supplies, or help with their advocacy efforts and connect these services to your child’s school.
Attend a school board or PTA meeting and voice your support for the arts to show them you care and make sure the arts are adequately funded as part of the core curriculum in the school budget.
Explore your child’s dream to sing, to dance, to draw, to act—and encourage them to become the best they can be through the arts.
Be an arts supporter! Contact your elected officials—lawmakers and school board members—to ask them for more arts education funding from the local, state, and federal levels. Visit our Online Resource Center.
