Art in the Capital Region

I go to many different places and always talk Art where I go with who I meet. It seems that the Capital Region has a amazing art scene but doesn't appreciate it. I have had people from out of the area buy more Art then people HERE....??? I am trying to help support over 60 different Artists.. I am working 6 days a week and yet I cant mange to make 2000 a month to support my biz... WHAT IS WRONG IN THE CAPITAL REGION... 2000 is NOTHING to support... So very sad
