Obama just extended it into 2009. Either way, happy spending! Enjoy the catchy title, but the first-time homebuyer’s credit existed in 2008 before the election (when I bought mine).

The most important thing to do is get out there and go to openings and art events. Don't be intimidated. Both the gallery and the artist(s) enjoy having people come to their shows and see their work. Don't feel like you can't go if you are not going to buy something. 95% of the people who go see art at galleries don't buy every time they go. And during the holiday season many venues are doing special events for gift giving opportunities with work at very reasonable price points. Take baby steps. Buy what you love.
