25 Ways to Add Southern Soul to Your Home

8. Showcase Your Hometown Pride with Affordable Local Art.

Local art lends an authentic sense of place to a home’s interior, and if you love supporting Southern artists, the Charleston Artist Collective founder Allison Williamson has an app (er, Instagram account) for that. What started in 2010 as an online “gallery” for Charleston, South Carolina, artists to sell their work has now expanded to include Atlanta and Nashville. “I realized some people wanted art but didn’t have time to visit galleries or couldn’t afford their prices,” Williamson says. “I wanted local art to be delivered to people’s computers and phones. And I believed that if it could work in Charleston, it could grow to other cities.”
