Art’s Gives Back

Dec 29, 2017
Art's Cameras Plus is committed to giving back and getting involved with people and programs in their community

As one of only a few camera stores in the entire Midwest to not only survive the online shopping revolution, but to continue to thrive, Art’s Cameras Plus is all about gratitude. We know how fortunate we are to have made the right changes at the right time, and are grateful to every customer whose loyalty and love of photography has helped us succeed. We know we would not still be in business—50 years later—if we only focused on business. That’s why we believe so strongly in giving back and getting involved with people and programs in our community. Here are just a few ways Art’s is making a difference: 


Equipment donations—we support creativity and the next generation of photographers by donating or loaning cameras to schools and youth art programs like the one at “City of Light Christian Church.”


Education and classes—Art’s FOCUS Group welcomes young photographers, offering special programs for them in store, and often at no charge.


Community sponsorships—we sponsor the 4H photo exhibit at the Waukesha County Fair, and also support the City of Greenfield Parks and Recreation programs.


Support for cancer awareness—in memory of his brother Steve, owner Tony Miresse supports local efforts for pancreatic cancer research. Art’s has also hosted “Girls Night Out” events, with proceeds donated to promote breast cancer awareness.


Celebrating local talent—every weekday on WTMJ-4’s Morning Blend, Art’s underwrites the “Picture of the Day,” featuring great shots from area photographers.


When you choose to shop at Art’s instead of big, out-of-state online retailers, you’re also giving back to the community. A portion of your purchases ultimately supports the programs above, plus you’re buying local and keeping tax dollars in Wisconsin, where we all benefit from better schools, roads, parks, police protection, and so much more.


Art’s Looks Forward

In addition to the special efforts we make to help friends and neighbors in need, the team here gives their best every day to help customers get the most value and enjoyment for their money. Professional help and honest advice are great gifts—ones we’re happy to share all year long. We hope your holidays were filled with joy, and that your 2018 will be picture-perfect!

Capture Your Story

What do golf and photography have in common? A constant pursuit of the perfect shot, a sense of community, or maybe it's the love for being outdoors. When you break it down, they are more similar than not. Each medium comes with its own stories and when you combine them together, you really get something special. That's why we partnered up with Random Golf Club this past year to help get a community of like minded people together and have fun doing what they love. Random Golf Club? You may have seen a post or two about our collaboration with Random Golf Club and were intrigued by who they are. If you are completely new to their brand, they are an amazing group of people led by the one and only, Erik Anders Lang. They set out to reshape the narrative of golf with the goal of making it a fun and accessible sport for all by building a community of like minded individuals. It doesn't take long to get the sense that they are a brand that believes in the power of storytelling and the impact it can have. CREATIVE SPOTLIGHTS What do golf and photography have in common?
