What economic indicators suggest Q4 will be a strong selling season for artists?

Multiple indicators point to a strong Q4: household savings rates are at historic highs, remote work is continuing long-term (with major companies keeping employees home through 2021-2022), and people are investing in their home environments like never before. With people spending most of their time at home and having saved money during the pandemic, there’s both the financial capacity and strong desire to improve living and workspace environments with original artwork. This combination creates ideal conditions for art sales heading into the fourth quarter.
