Sure, sometimes it\u2019s hard to shop for someone creatively minded, for fear of getting some seemingly impossible-to-glean distinction between what they like and what they loathe, but at their best, the holidays provide ample opportunities to simply show your support for the people you care about. Whether that means, in this case, attractively packaging up the supplies that they might need in order to accomplish their craft, finding them some new sources of inspiration, or just picking up something to make them smile, there\u2019s no time like the present to show that you care about their creativity.<\/p>\n<p>And for those interested in helping others build up their own art collections, Drawer (formerly Flat File) is an artist-run online gallery and shop that offers handpicked, signed, original pieces and limited-edition prints from emerging artists at the beginnings of cool careers, and at very affordable prices. Other artists sell some of their works online independently. And while it may feel basic, a museum membership is never a bad idea. New York\u2019s Whitney Museum and Brooklyn Museum; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Philadelphia Museum of Art; and the Art Institute of Chicago all offer advance previews of major exhibitions and discounts in the museum shop and restaurants as well as invitations to events and advance notice of new programs to card-carrying members. Plus, gifting a membership lets the aspiring artist in your life get to feel like a patron of the arts for once. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, \u201cEvery artist was first an amateur.\u201d This holiday season, show them you believe they\u2019ve got the stuff to go the distance.<\/p>\n<p>Below, 11 more great
