How to Show Up For Your Art in 2025

The holidays have wrapped, our tree is laying in the front yard waiting for the green bin, and the gaudy chaos of last year is fading into memory. The new year, with all of its uncertainty also holds promise, stretching out ahead of us like a blank roll of canvas.

“I don’t believe in art. I believe in artists.” – Marcel Duchamp

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Every artist knows that empty space can sometimes feel intimidating. We ask ourselves, “Where do I even start?” or “What if the work goes south?” It’s all so tenuousness in the fragile beginnings. Still, the act of starting and showing up for your art is the only way to see your vision come to life.

The rhythms of the new year are already taking hold. Amid all the routines and interruptions, one question continues to echo through for every artist:

HOW WILL YOU SHOW UP FOR YOUR ART THIS YEAR?

Art has always been a sanctuary. It affirms our shared humanity and offers a way to reimagine the world. As the year unfolds with its challenges and possibilities, your art holds the power to inspire hope and create change.

The secret to showing up for your art this year is simple: ACTION. Every brushstroke, every mark, every moment in the studio creates energy, and that energy builds on itself. With each small step, you carve a path toward something more substantial, a more fulfilling practice, a clearer vision, a new beginning.

Over the past few years, I’ve witnessed how our community of artists has grown, connected, and inspired one another. This shared journey has been a testament to the power of creativity. I’m excited to continue that journey with you this year and to see how your work evolves.
