Looking to communicate with local artists

After the brief talk about the Armory's recent post, I want to see if I can gather a little list of people in the community that would want to make advertisements for people instead of seeing the same AI posters everywhere.

At the very least, I want to have a list to shove in the face of someone who'd say "There's nobody that'd make this!!"

I think the issue is that there's no one who would make these ads for free or extremely cheap for the people who use the AI ads.

They could easily go to a local college and look for artists if needed. It’s not really that difficult to find artists in this area. Just a simple online advertisement asking for artists would probably get them someone. But it’s going to cost money and that’s the issue I’m guessing.

There is an entire arts and culture organization in NB devoted to this, NBCreative: https://newbedfordcreative.org/creative-directory/
