It's pretty simple: you buy art from artists you like. Since you're not obscenely rich, you'd have to buy art from local unknown artists that you enjoy.

I grew up in a household where books were so common and such a primary form of entertainment that humorous literary books were talked about the way more peasants talk about funnyman movies and this bled into my friend group. I remember the first time I read Watchmen and described it to someone: “It’s cool because basically they took the idea of the superhero and tried to make them realistic by giving them the pains of ordinary life!” And the person I was telling it to was shocked and disgusted by how low-brow and dumb the concept sounded. I’ll never forget the scornful “Why would anybody wanna read something like that?”

It was the moment I realized that Watchmen was just a sort of excuse for the low-brow toy books to assert themselves as art, and I had taken the bait hook, line, and sinker.
