Spending money locally shows pride in your community culture and local products. As a person who lives in the area you are more apt to locally recirculate money spent with you on your art in the form of purchases from other local business, thus supporting the local work force.
When you give some of that money to local charities, even if it's just the local boy or girl scout troop, or maybe the local food bank you are keeping money spent with you in movement. It's a monetary loop that keeps people working to make the goods they and others purchase.
"I'm an artist, not a business person", you shout. Well, I hate to break this to you, but anyone who wants to sell art is in business.
According to Wikipedia, "a business (also known as enterprise or firm) is an organization or person engaged in the trade or sale of goods, services, or both to consumers”
Business is NOT a dirty word. Businesses allow us as consumers to buy food, clothes, and gas. It allows us to find a place to live (real estate sales and rentals), and most likely it employs a lot of us who are not fortunate enough to be able to make a living selling our art. There is that word "sell" again.
