Truth can be tricky, especially these days. We live in an era of deep fakes, AI, competing narratives that can leave you feeling confused about who – and what – to believe. Where does art come in? Is it still a relevant part of the conversation? Absolutely. Art has a place at the table, whether as an escape from the chaos of our age or as a vehicle of truth itself. Create boldly and get your work into the world. Here are a few upcoming opportunities to do just that.
