For the love of art...

The idea of art being only for the wealthy is a little offensive in this day and age. That high-brow attitude and snobbery synonymous with the art scene is far less prevalent, thanks to the emergence of social platforms like Instagram and Etsy, where artists are making their work more accessible to a wider audience. Yes, there's some very, very expensive, collectible original art work out there that many of us can only dream of owning, but does that mean we can't have nice things?
In reproducing and printing their original artwork, artists are giving the everyday punters the opportunity to afford a piece of their work because let’s face it, art is, and should be, for all…unless you’re after an original commissioned work by David Choe, in which case, can you buy one for us, too, please? Uh...thanks.
Here we take a look at the work of some of our favourite local artists of 2017, all of whom not only produce pretty stunning work, but more importantly, go out of their way to ensure they and their work can be accessed and enjoyed by art lovers on every budget.
