The Laura I. Art Gallery is extending a cordial invitation to artists to take part in our upcoming community endeavour titled "Inspire Me". We encourage talented individuals to craft and submit a single drawing that will be featured in our captivating publication, aptly titled "Inspire Me".

With the kind support from BD Giving, we aim to curate a book that serves as a beaming beacon for young individuals facing adversity. By offering a collection of heartwarming images, our aim is to ignite a spark of motivation and empower these aspiring dreamers to steadfastly pursue their passions, even on the gloomiest of days.

As a key component of our project, we will be donating 100 books to empower young individuals hailing from underrepresented and marginalized communities. These books will serve as a wellspring of inspiration, igniting their creative potential and encouraging personal growth. We extend an earnest invitation to talented artists to join us in this noble endeavour by donating their awe-inspiring drawings, thus bolstering our cause and community projects. As a non-profit organization, every single penny generated from this initiative will be reinvested in creating countless opportunities for budding creatives, as well as developing invaluable programs for those grappling with the profound hardships of isolation and loneliness. Together, let's catalyse positive change and shape a better tomorrow.

About the drawing To ignite a daily dose of motivation, we invite you to create an inspiring masterpiece that resonates with young minds. Your drawing has the power to uplift spirits and instil optimism. It could depict encouraging messages like "you can achieve greatness", "nurture our planet", "embrace nature's love", "unleash your potential", or "friends are always there for you". Digital artwork is preferable for enhanced quality, ensuring your creation stands the test of time. However, if a tablet is unavailable, fear not!

A carefully outlined pencil drawing will suffice; just ensure it is clearly visible. Please save your drawing as an NPG or vector file if possible or jpegs in high quality. Let your creative energy shine and inspire young souls worldwide! To ensure we receive a comprehensive creative submission, please provide us with two versions of your drawing: one in pencil for a classic touch and the other in vibrant colours for added inspiration. Alongside your artwork, kindly include a succinct quote encapsulating the essence of your drawing in just one sentence. Why should you apply? If you're searching for a remarkable opportunity to showcase and promote your artistic talent while making a positive impact, look no further.

By participating in this project, you'll have the chance to connect with a wider audience who can appreciate and support your art, potentially even purchasing your creations.

Just imagine how your drawings could touch someone's life, bringing a smile, success, or even sparking a transformative change. Sometimes, all it takes is a kind word to make a difference, and you can be that friend to someone. Plus, not only will you take pride in being featured in this incredible book, but you can proudly share the news with your friends, too. The success of your artwork could generate significant interest and increase the likelihood of having your very own book designed.

Additionally, by joining us, you'll be actively helping us reach individuals who are typically difficult to reach or who face various challenges due to poverty or the high cost of living. Artists, please ensure to submit TWO versions of your drawing: one in black and white for coloring and one already colored. This will aid individuals using the book to find inspiration and guide them in selecting colors.

Deadline: Ongoing

Who is it for: Any an all artists, that want to make a difference!

Memento Mori is an exhibition that focuses on the themes of life and death. The Latin phrase "memento mori" means "remember that you will die." Vanitas is a notable example, juxtaposing symbols such as skulls, wilting flowers, and wealth to represent the transience of life, the futility of pleasure, and the certainty of death. Memento mori can be a powerful reminder of the fleeting nature of our presence, a source of comfort and inspiration, and a reminder that demise is a natural part of life and that we should make the most of our time on this mortal coil. Show us, what makes life worth living, and how does one cope with the inevitability of death?

Memento Mori is an international juried group exhibition open to artists ages 18 and older. All forms of two-dimensional, traditional, and non-conventional art media (e.g., digital and film photography, video, oil painting, watercolor, acrylic, mixed media, collage, drawing media such as graphite, charcoal, pencils, pen and ink, arts and crafts, etc.) are welcome for submission.

Our 33rd printed issue of AAP Magazine will feature the best projects showcasing the theme "Nature".

Nature photography is a captivating and diverse genre that focuses on capturing the beauty and essence of the natural world. It encompasses various aspects such as landscapes, wildlife as well as flora and fauna, each offering its own unique charm and opportunities for exploration.

Landscape photography involves capturing the grandeur and vastness of natural environments. It entails showcasing the breathtaking vistas of mountains, rolling hills, serene lakes, cascading waterfalls, dramatic coastlines, as well as abandoned man made structures invaded by vegetation.

Wildlife photography is another prominent aspect of nature photography. It involves photographing animals in their natural habitats, capturing their behavior, movements, and interactions. Wildlife photographers often venture into diverse ecosystems, ranging from lush rainforests to arid deserts, to document the incredible diversity of species.

Flora and fauna photography delves into the intricate beauty of plants, flowers, and other living organisms. It seeks to capture the details, colors, and textures of vegetation, showcasing the diversity and delicacy of the plant kingdom.

In all these aspects of nature photography, photographers strive to convey the harmony, diversity, and fragility of the natural world. They aim to evoke a sense of wonder, appreciation, and connection with nature, encouraging viewers to develop a deeper understanding and respect for the environment. Through their images, nature photographers inspire conservation efforts and raise awareness about the importance of preserving these natural treasures for future generations.
