Monthly Theme

Each Issue focuses on a chosen monthly theme- but work is not limited to the theme specifically - it is purely for inspiration.

Current Theme is:January – Beginnings & Renewal
Themes of fresh starts, resolutions, winter landscapes, rebirth. Whether quiet and reflective or bold and transformative, your work should capture the essence of starting over.

Inside every issue and posted on the website, we reveal the theme for the following month, so there’s always something new to spark your inspiration.
