On the broad sidewalks around Jackson Square in New Orleans, Louisiana, we saw several sidewalk artists displaying and selling their artwork. To me, such art bought directly from the artist is one of the best souvenirs of a place one can get.
Okay, I'll be honest and say that we did not buy any art on this trip. I didn't have an easy way to get it home. But the walls of our home are loaded with art - both original and prints - which I have bought from sidewalk artists in many different countries of the world.
Support small time artists. Cut on the middle man. Give yourself a treat. Preserve a memory. You do all of this and more when you make a purchase from a sidewalk artist.
