Committed
We have been publishing International Artist for 22 years now and don’t plan on going anywhere at all during this difficult time in history. In fact, not only are we still continuing to publishing this magazine every other month to help all our friends, artists, enthusiasts, art students and collectors, but we are also soliciting articles and demonstration from all over the world at a record pace.
Art has such a wonderful way of connecting people. While we are all stuck at home in this moment, the pages of this issue of International Artist magazine will allow you to be transported directly to the art studios of some of the best artists working today. We hope that our magazine warms your own studio during these difficult times and allows you to experiment and create work in a way that you haven’t done before.
Finally, this thought came to me several weeks ago and I just wanted to share it with you. It’s so easy to not go to things. Museums, galleries, plays, concerts, street fairs, art fairs, lectures, films, culinary markets, sporting events, art walks, etc. Accept the invite on Facebook, get caught in your routine and then not go. I think the one thing I’ve realized from getting announcement after announcement of art events being canceled is that a lot of time, hope, creativity, passion, energy and just plain old hard work goes into the planning and staging of such events and the world is a lesser place without them. My pandemic resolution is to actively and energetically participate in more of these once things normalize. They certainly make the world an even more pleasant and beautiful place to be!
P.S. We are always looking for artists to create demonstrations for the pages of this magazine. If you’re interested, please email me at editor@internationalartist.com.
