You ever notice how some artists seem to get seen everywhere , not because they’re rich or famous, but because their work somehow travels? It pops up in group shows, zines, someone’s Pinterest board, even in a random café post. And then there’s you, scrolling, wondering how your work that feels just as good, maybe even better, seems to vanish into thin air after you hit upload. Here’s the truth no one admits: being seen isn’t about being lucky, or loud, or backed by cash. It’s about being findable. And findable…
Before announcing the selected artists, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who submitted their work for The Places We Call Home. Each submission carried with it a story, a memory, and a feeling that reminded us just how beautifully diverse the idea of “home” can be. You invited us into your worlds into rooms filled with love, nostalgia, and quiet strength. Your art made us pause, reflect, and see that home is not just a place, but a heartbeat, a belonging that travels with…

If you’ve ever searched for art opportunities online, you’ve probably noticed how quickly the words “application fee” appear. It can be discouraging, especially when you’re still building your career and every dollar counts. That’s why free open calls are worth paying attention to.

1. Your Portfolio is a Not a Scrapbook Let’s challenge a big idea: that your portfolio must tell your growth story. What if instead, your portfolio is about clarity, not chronology? In today’s saturated creative world, your audience isn’t looking for your origin story; they’re looking for a clear, bold window into your current identity as an artist. Growth is messy, non-linear, and often deeply personal , and that’s beautiful. But when someone’s browsing your portfolio, they have limited time. They’re seeking cohesion, not a diary. Your job isn’t to take…
Let’s Take a Look Together You’ve got a portfolio, maybe on your website, maybe tucked in a PDF, maybe in a beautifully curated Instagram grid. But when was the last time you gave it a real, honest look? Not a scroll-through. A review. Your portfolio is more than a gallery. It’s a mirror of your growth, your taste, and the version of your creative self you’re presenting to the world. Whether you’re trying to land clients, get into galleries, or just want to feel more aligned with your work, learning to…
