Gift Guide

Gifts for Artists & Curators

For someone who either makes things, curates things, or both -- real supplies for the hobby itself, and the frames, shelves, and display pieces that give a piece somewhere considered to live instead of a drawer.

How to actually shop for this person

Four ways in, for someone with strong opinions about how things are displayed.

Ask what they collect, specifically

Vinyl, vintage cameras, art prints -- the display solution is completely different for each, so skip the generic decor and go specific.

Display pieces are a safer bet than more of the thing itself

They likely have opinions about the collection itself already. A better way to show it off solves a real gap without stepping on their taste.

For the maker, materials beat a finished piece

Someone who makes art wants better supplies for their own next project, not somebody else's finished one.

A little art-world humor goes further than you'd think

This crowd tends to enjoy something that's in on the joke about art or collecting itself, alongside anything more serious.
