Take a closer look at the recent Birds submissions, where artists from around the world explore the beauty, freedom, and fragility of birds. Each piece reflects a unique perspective whether through painting, photography, or sculpture showcasing movement, emotion, and imagination in ways that inspire and captivate.
Have you ever had a day that seemed ordinary, only to realize later it changed everything about how you make art? Those moments sneak up quietly, maybe a critique stings, maybe a tiny success surprises you, maybe an experiment completely flops. At the time, they feel like nothing. But in hindsight, they’re milestones. Why care? Because understanding these moments is how you start learning from them instead of repeating the same struggles. Each “aha” or “ouch” contains a lesson if you’re paying attention. Knowing what to look for makes your growth…
What do birds mean to you? Are they symbols of freedom, fragile companions, or messengers between worlds? Our international bird-themed exhibition invites artists to explore these questions — and the submissions we’ve received so far are breathtaking. From quiet moments of a single perched bird to sweeping visions of migration across continents, each artwork tells a story of memory, longing, resilience, and hope. Together, they form a living archive — wings of color, form, and emotion that remind us how birds connect us to the sky, to each other, and to…
Ever catch yourself staring at your own work and thinking, “Is this even good enough?” Yeah, that little whisper isn’t imaginary. It’s self-doubt, and for women artists, it tends to crash the studio like an uninvited guest. You’ve probably tried ignoring it, scrolling past it, or telling yourself, “Just focus on the art.” But it sticks. And the more you push, the louder it gets. Here’s the twist, self-doubt doesn’t mean you’re failing. It’s more like a foggy mirror that makes you question what’s already right in front of you. That…
What do birds mean to you freedom, resilience, fragility, or hope? For centuries, they have carried stories across skies and cultures, symbols of journeys both seen and unseen.

Every artist has little things that mean a lot, maybe it’s a childhood toy, a pattern you loved in your grandmother’s kitchen, or a recurring motif you notice in dreams. These small, personal symbols carry stories that only you fully understand, and they can become powerful tools in your art. When someone else sees them, even if they don’t grasp every layer, they feel a connection, like a secret handshake. Think about a painting that features a little paper boat. To you, it might be a memory of a rainy afternoon,…
Why It’s Time to Show the Messy Middle We all love the final piece, the polished canvas, the perfectly lit photograph, the sculpture that stands proud and complete. But what about the versions before that? The smudged pages, the failed attempts, the half-formed ideas that eventually led you there? Most artists hide those moments. But here’s the thing: they’re gold. Audiences are no longer content with just the result. They want to know the story behind it, the hands that shaped it, and the journey it took to arrive.
