“A new leaf” signals fresh beginnings, and for artists, January offers a chance to reset, reflect, and let curiosity lead the way. The month often feels quieter in the studio, a moment to pause before schedules fill and deadlines press in. Even in this calm, the art world continues to move, opening opportunities to encounter ideas, techniques, and perspectives that can expand thinking and influence how work develops in the months ahead. Exhibitions opening in this period highlight what is resonating culturally, showcasing approaches that can illuminate unexpected connections in an…
Change is the only constant, even in the art world, where trends can appear overnight and fade just as quickly. What felt groundbreaking last year can suddenly seem outdated, while what feels fresh today might be tomorrow’s standard. As we approach 2026, the art market is quietly but significantly evolving, and the shifts taking place are already affecting the way artists present and sell their work, collectors make purchasing decisions, and audiences experience creativity. This is not some vague prediction for the future, it is a reality you can already see…
In this interview, Elodie Martin talks about how her childhood in Arles, her time exploring visual arts and her return to hand embroidery all come together in the pieces she creates today. She explains how she chooses her materials, how she moves between Lunéville crochet and needle work, and how works like Splinters of rose form a space where memory, care and the pace of nature meet. Her insights offer a close look at the thoughtful, steady way she builds stories through thread.
According to GSMA’s 2024 report on mobile internet connectivity, around 53 % of the global population , roughly 4.3 billion people , now use smartphones. That statistic does more than point to convenience; it highlights possibility. For art lovers, it means access to galleries, inspiration, and creative tools is no longer limited by location, time, or budget. A smartphone can quietly become a bridge between curiosity and creativity. With that kind of access in your hands, the right art apps can transform small pockets of time into meaningful interactions. Whether it is discovering…
Many artists who land their first gallery show rarely describe a single breakthrough moment. They describe a series of decisions that built something solid, something that could carry the early weight of a professional practice. Manifestation becomes less about wishing and more about showing up with consistency, clarity, and a sense of direction that others can feel. When your foundation is steady, your chances of being seen by the right space rise in a very practical way. A lot of artists assume that manifesting a gallery show means repeating intentions and…
We visited Dr. Evilletown in her basement studio in New York City. The space is quiet and practical, with the faint smell of paint and beeswax in the air. Around her, sketches, paintings, and sculptures sit in different stages of progress. She talks about how she keeps her workspace clear, how ideas move from sketchbooks to finished pieces, and the small routines that help her stay focused. It’s a chance to see how her art takes shape, one brushstroke and sound at a time.
Sometimes the habits we hold onto sneak up on us without us even noticing. As artists, we carry routines, little thought patterns, and mental pressures that quietly shape our work in ways we do not always see. Some of these habits drain our energy, stall creativity, or keep ideas from fully coming to life. Noticing them is not about guilt or blame. It is about understanding how our own actions quietly influence the work we make and the way we feel about it. Letting go of habits that do not serve…

They say old traditions are like well worn brushes, reliable, familiar, and full of stories that outlive trends. Winter has a way of reminding us of that. As the world slows down and routines soften, people everywhere turn to rituals that bring comfort, creativity, and a sense of belonging. And when you look closely, so many of these traditions have a creative heartbeat, something artists can instantly connect with. What makes winter rituals fascinating is how different cultures use art, craft, and small acts of making to mark the season. Some…
