Austin, TX (Nov. 18, 2021) — Supply chain issues are affecting the availability of goods across the country this holiday season. But there is no need to panic. Local artisans, including artists, creators, makers, and performers are stepping up to meet the demand for quality gifts with handmade, creative items and experiences perfect for the holiday season.

More than 500 communities across the country are championing their local artists this holiday season, celebrating the second annual Artists Sunday, the national art-shopping day taking place the Sunday after Thanksgiving – November 28th this year. Additionally, 4,200 individual artists are participating directly. It’s like Black Friday but for art.

“The supply chain shortages have affected everything from electronics, furniture, appliances, sporting goods and more,” said Artists Sunday founder Christopher V. Sherman. “But local artists, creators and makers have a fantastic assortment of gift items readily available for the discerning shopper. Top picks include a variety of handcrafted items, including ceramics, wood, glass, wall hangings, clothing, paper times, jewelry, wellness and more.”

Consumers can shop from full range of art, hand-crafted items, experiences, and performances, finding a wide range of creative items that are both practical and beautiful.
