GM Europe and Africa! Good day Asia and Australia! Here's a new Art Challenge:
**2026 Calendar Challenge** – 12 weeks, 12 months, 12 chances to turn “I want to be creative” into “I’m actually creating.”
Each week you make *one* visual capture of the month—any medium, any style. The focus is on the **process**, not the polish.
**Week 1 – January**
**Core Theme:** Fresh Beginnings
**Prompt:** *“What does a new year feel like for me?”*
Think snow‑covered evergreens, pine cones, fireworks, a quiet hearth… let the feeling guide your art.
**Optional Creative Exercise**
1) Sketch a “first‑light” scene.
2) Write a 1‑page letter to your future self and tuck it into the page.
**Got a template?** Feel free to use the printable calendar layout 👉 
🗓️ **How it works:**
- Choose a medium (collage, paint, digital, found objects).
- Create the visual **by Sunday week’s end**.
- Share a photo or scan with #2026CalendarChallenge.
Let the pages become tiny reminders of the spark you lit in 2025, and watch the habit of playful exploration stick around long after the 12 weeks are over. 🌟
