The mental/ emotional/ physical/ spiritual place that creativity flows out of and inspires your art. The theme is intended as prompt for artists to examine their personal practice, and create a new piece of work inspired by their findings. *CALL TO ARTISTS* We invite artists of all experience levels to expound on the theme and create a new composition for this group exhibit.
