As much as we love art, we admit that the often-high price points can deter us from actually buying it. Art should be fun and accessible, we say! And the Lancaster Arts Hotel in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, seems to agree. The former tobacco warehouse displays more than 250 pieces of fine art, along with rotating art exhibits, for all its guests to enjoy. Taking inspiration from this historical hotel, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite affordable-artwork sites that can turn any art lover into a buyer:

20×200: Founded on the equation “(limited editions x low prices) + the Internet = art for everyone,” this user-friendly site offers small-batch, original prints starting at just $20.
Tiny Showcase: Each week, Tiny Showcase chooses a piece of artwork from an up-and-coming talent to turn into a limited-run archival print. The best part? A portion of the profits from each sale are donated to a charity of the artist’s choice.
“Museum: Third Gallery” by Rui Tenreiro (print: $20, framed print: $125)
The Working Proof: Similar to Tiny Showcase, The Working Proof promotes art and social responsibility by donating proceeds from sales to artist-selected charities. Plus, the prints are unique and affordable, so you really can’t go wrong.

Etsy: The ultimate one-stop-shop for everything handmade, Etsy is a great source for affordable (and original!) paintings and more.
