Jake from Image360 installing Steph Holmes Artist Studio's brand new signage
I’m thrilled to share that I received a small business grant from BLOOM Business Empowerment to help fund signage for my new space above Gather 256 in downtown York, PA! BLOOM is an extension of the York County Economic Alliance. This support came at the perfect time, as I’m settling into my new artist studio and storefront, which is now more visible and welcoming thanks to this signage.
The grant allowed me to invest in high-quality signage. Now, when folks walk by the building, they can easily spot where to find my work, whether they’re seeking a nature-inspired gift or a painting class.
As an artist who believes deeply in the power of community, this grant is more than just a financial boost, it’s a reminder that there are people and organizations out there who believe in what I do. Funding like this makes it possible for small, independent artists like me to keep doing the work we love while creating spaces that feel intentional and soul-centered.
Thank you to the BLOOM team that made this grant possible, to Image360, the local business who made and installed the new signs so beautifully, and to everyone who’s cheered me on as I’ve transitioned into this new space. I can’t wait to welcome you into the studio soon, whether you’re stopping in to pick up art, join a class, or just say hello.
