Welcoming the New Year with Intention, Creativity, and Community

As we step into a new year, we want to take a moment to pause, reflect, and say thank you.

The Art Collective International was built on the belief that creativity thrives best in community~ through shared learning, curiosity, and mutual support. Over the past year, we’ve watched this space grow into something deeply meaningful: a place where artists, makers, and creative thinkers come together to explore, experiment, and support one another at every stage of their journey.

Looking Back with Gratitude

This past year was one of building, refining, and learning. We expanded our educational offerings, welcomed new members, and continued developing resources designed to make creative growth more accessible and sustainable. Whether you joined us through a course, a prompt, a discussion, or simply by following along, your presence has helped shape what ACI is becoming.

We’re especially grateful for the generosity of this community~ the willingness to share process, ask thoughtful questions, and uplift one another. That spirit of collaboration is at the heart of everything we do.

Looking Ahead to the Year to Come

As we move into the new year, our focus remains on intentional growth rather than rushing or overloading. In the coming months, you can expect:

• Expanded educational content and guided learning

• More process-focused and behind-the-scenes material

• Thoughtful creative prompts and exercises

• Continued development of long-form courses

• A stronger focus on sustainability, accessibility, and clarity in learning

• More Artisan Markets and Events

Our goal is to help artists build skills with confidence, curiosity, and care~ without pressure or perfectionism.

A Note on Creativity Moving Forward

The start of a new year can bring a lot of expectations. At ACI, we want to gently remind you that creativity doesn’t have to be loud, fast, or constant to be meaningful. Progress can be quiet. Growth can be slow. Rest can be productive.

Wherever you are in your creative journey right now, you belong here.

Thank You for Being Here

Thank you for supporting The Art Collective International and for helping shape this community into what it is today. We’re excited to continue learning, creating, and growing alongside you in the year ahead.

Here’s to a new year filled with curiosity, intention, and creativity.

With gratitude,
The Art Collective International
