Become a patron of the arts, without the massive price tag

30 March 2011 1:00 GMT / By Ian Hughes

You don't necessarily have to be artistic to enjoy the creative arts. The only watercolour we’re familiar with is the murky, muddy brown of the Grand Union Canal and acrylic is something we think some of our more flamboyant summer shirts are made of.

But we do like beautiful things. And some of us wish we were the people who could fill their houses with fine art. But the mortgages come first and so our dreams of being art impresarios lie dormant, for the time being at least.

But there is a way we can support artists at wedidthis.org.uk. It's a way to get involved in the arts without having to shell out stacks of cash.

They’re looking to bring artists and their audiences closer together, to breath new life into the arts scene by bringing in investment and ultimately new consumers. If you see something you like, you can make a donation, however modest. In return you’ll get a reward. You’ll also gain the lovely warm feeling that in these times of austerity, you’re keeping the arts scene going.

We may not know much about art, but we know a decent opportunity to do something a bit different when we see one.

If you have a website that you want to tell us about email us via the feedbackk form.
