On display at CTN Studio Burbank CA

Welcome Artists

We've all been home a long, long time... so now it's time to go on an ADVENTURE! Art connects us, inspires us, makes us laugh, think, feel, endure, and survive in a way that is timeless. We’ve been through a million hard things and have seen others go through a million more. 


"I've always tried to present a positive view of the world in my work. It's so much easier to be negative and cynical and predict doom for the world than it is to try and figure out how to make things better. We have an obligation to do the latter." ~Jim Henson


I would like to invite you to help capture the soul of a moment with a short quote or story paired with your art to help uplift the worlds vibe. And if you feel the spirit moves you please invite a friend to share this experience with you. Shareable invitation link: https://www.greenvelope.com/event/millionmoments
