This makes me sad again... I love the mask, the color, the dense stitches, all the details: amazing. I want this to be exhibited! it would be so great to have more support for artists in all countries. Most people want to see art, want to hear music and want a vibrant town which encorporates a lot of culture, but sadly seldom anybody wants to pay for it.
Hmmm perhaps we have to found a hive art-sholarship?
(@juliakponsford and @castleberry not sure if you read this... is there already such a thing? If not could it be a thing?)
No such thing in the formal sense that I know of, we have built ties with OCD to have better curation for the alien art hive community posts to encourage the artists as much as possible but aside from that nothing else organized. What would you envision for something like that?
To be honest it was just a thought that popped up, as I profited so much from the scholarship I got. I am always afraid to waist material (and money with it) and I am afraid to just experiment without the pressure to produce „something“. The scholarship helped to overcome this a bit. And I am a deadline worker. I honestly like to have a set date and topic (which I chose myself in this case) and being bound to finish things and to work consequently on this one topic.
I kind of thought maybe it is possible to have such scholarship on hive, to give artists the opportunity to work during a set period on one topic.
I will think about it… ……..it should be something which is a bit different from earning through posting (which is so awesome, and I am always amazed how much work you all put in to get the community flourishing) It should add value to hive and the art community. And I think it would be good to have a visible result.
Sorry, I am brainstorming while writing. Not so fascinating for you to read 🤪
I will think some days about this and will write you, Thank you for being open for such an idea (if I come up with a real idea) <3
