At Auroras & Blossoms, we enjoy learning about the creative process. We also believe that each artist has valuable knowledge, tips, and insights that deserve to be shared with the world. This, in turn, makes their work even more valuable to audiences.

That’s why we are starting the Insider Tip Roundup Series. Once every two or three months, we will ask you a specific question, and we will publish your most insightful answers (with full credits) in a roundup post on our blog.

Today, we need your answers to this question: What is your number one tip to motivate you to create art that makes a difference in people’s lives?

To participate, please follow the rules below:

  1. Download the following document.
  2. Rename it: “Name – roundup May 2021”.
  3. Fill it up and send it to us as an attachment at submissions@abpositiveart.com.
  4. Subject of your email: Insider Tip Roundup (May 2021) + Your name
  5. Deadline: May 24, 2021 (11:59 pm ET)
  6. Only Word or PDF document, please!

That’s it! We look forward to reading your fascinating answers!
