Build resilience (cooking, sewing) or meet people over shared interests (art, sports.) This is a great way to build community, defeat burnout, and keep the local economy going. Many classes are sliding scale, support local people, and make great holiday gifts, too!
Get tickets to a museum or arboretum. Have lunch at a local restaurant. Check shops for locally-made holiday gifts. Find out what makes your home great, invest in local venues and products, and tell people!
Bonus: if you’re near a target city (Portland, Chicago etc.) take a road trip and post pictures!
Are you looking for a unique gift that supports resistance and the local community? Find a small-time artist who accepts commissions for bespoke work, and have something created for someone you love—or yourself!
Commissioning art takes some faith and flexibility, but it creates a truly meaningful gift or memory. From tattoo flash to a mural on a fence or a bespoke item of clothing, gifting art to yourself or a loved one builds community, joy and resilience.
Buy tickets for yourself (and a friend?) and attend a local entertainment event, especially if it’s a benefit for a cause you value! Musicians, spoken word poets, theater—joy is resistance!
Choose venues and artists who live in your region, and spend what you can to bolster the local community. The economic downturns hit artists hard.
