"Meeting Christopher & Carolyn [Bailey] has been an absolute pleasure and significantly enhanced the business solutions I can now offer my Loyalty Marketing customers. Over the past year, Christopher has worked on developing several custom greeting cards and ACEO's for me. His creativity never ceases to amaze me and his professional, friendly approach is always apparent. His flexibility and continued commitment to providing fresh, imaginative artwork is unparalleled; Christopher is not only a talented artist but an innovative businessman dedicated to promoting local artists and their art. He is never at a loss for new ideas or approaches and I look forward to a long lasting business relationship!

I highly recommend Support Local Art to anyone looking for unique, local art solutions!" - Cheralyn Doell / Owner - Custom Client Solutions Inc.

"Finding art on SLA was a complete pleasure, and buying direct from the artist was great. Support Local Art represents a diverse array of gifted artists with professionalism and integrity. I was impressed by their sound business practices as well as their passion and knowledge for and about art. SLA is a beautiful way to access exclusive, unique Alberta artworks." - Nicole - Art collector and firm believer in the Support Local Art concept.

"Becoming a member of Supportlocalart.com has not only given me an easy format for friends and family to view my works but it has also allowed my work to be viewed internationally; I have one of my images on a website in Australia. Since I have been affiliated with Supportlocalart.com I have sold four of my paintings and have been commissioned to do three more. One of the buyers has purchased a second painting and has asked me to do a commission for her as well. I like the fact that there is a peer jury for artists interested in joining the group. I think this enhances the quality of the artwork on our website. And I feel that no commission to pay to an agent is the way it should be for all artists. I especially appreciate the support and encouragement that I get from the founding members." - Monica - Artist

"Wow! What a great site. A friend passed on this web site and I checked it out and found all kinds of great art. Trolling through the site I found a couple of art pieces I liked. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to see the actual pieces. I contacted the artists, made arrangements to view the pieces. The pieces were as wonderful ‘live’ as they were on the net. They now hang in my house and a friend’s house, much to my pleasure. This site is just so great. Thanks a bunch to all who put it together." - Martha (Calgary) - Proud supporter of local artists.

"Before joining Support Local Art my work was stagnant. I was uninspired and frustrated. I needed to be involved with process and people of the same mind.

I contacted Carolyn [SLA Coordinator] and thought if anything I'll give it a try. Since then I have been involved in several shows, met some wonderful people and felt inspired to create. I have sold three paintings in two months, and got feed back on my paintings and photography that has fed the value of my work and creation. This has provided validation for me, the worth of my imagination and the process taken to share it." - Tara Twan- Artist
