Even so, it’s not all struggle. Fortunately, we have an incredible community, artists, readers, followers, who support us, who write with kindness, who believe in our mission and help us grow every day. To them, to you, we owe so much. You are the energy that keeps us going when we feel we can’t. You are part of this family we’ve built with so much effort and dedication.

So, thank you. Thank you for being here, for valuing, for sharing, for trusting. Thank you for making The Guide Artists a living, free, and ever-evolving space.

May this September bring new beginnings, new challenges, and new ways to celebrate what we love most: art.v
