King's Courtyard Artists' Collective is Royal Square's buy-local-art headquarters — an artist-run gallery on East King Street where 20-plus York-area makers show their work and the money from a sale goes straight back to the person who made it. It's the anti-markup model: original paintings, prints, jewelry, and giftable pieces, all with a name and a face attached instead of a corporate tag. Swing by on a First Friday (5 to 9) when Royal Square is alive, or any time you're hunting for a gift with an actual story behind it. You're not just buying art here — you're funding the artist directly, which feels a lot better than another mass-produced whatever. Support local, walk out with something one-of-a-kind.
