What sparks your creativity? Inspired By invites artists to explore and share the stories behind their creative process. Whether inspired by nature, music, literature, personal experiences, other artists, or the world around us, this exhibition celebrates the many ways inspiration takes shape in art.

Special Category: Inspired Together

Sometimes inspiration is even more powerful when shared! This special category invites two artists to pair up and explore how they inspire one another. Artists may create work in response to each other’s art, collaborate on a shared idea, or interpret a common source of inspiration in their own unique ways. The result may be two distinct works, a collaborative piece, or a creative conversation expressed through art.

Artist Statement Requirement

Each submitted piece must include a 2–3 sentence description explaining what inspired the work. Artists participating in the Inspired Together category should also share how their creative partnership influenced their work.
