Drum roll please … Introducing our fab new FREE quarterly Art Challenge!
Deadlines and challenges are a creative’s best friend – they’re a great way to motivate yourself and get on with making fantastic art without having to think too much about what you’re going to create.
Here’s the low down:
- Art agent Lilla will set you a fresh new art challenge once every quarter, on September 1st, December 1st, March 1st, and June 1st.
