For many, we are headed into one of the most stressful, busy, often fraught times of year. The holidays, while a time of joy for some, can be a source of strife for others. In fact, both can be true at once. During this time, it is important to take time for the self-care you need. It is also crucial that you set aside at least some time to be sure you’ve planned for the next phase of your art career. What happens after the holiday season when the fresh year has begun? Do you have resources lined up? While this is not a good time to add more stress, it can’t hurt to shop around. Here are a few opportunities to get you motivated.
