"Innovation plays a large role in all works which may become art. But even this can be overdone. Originality can be overdone to the point where it is no longer within any possible understanding by those viewing or hearing it. One can be so original one goes entirely outside the most distant perimeter of agreement with its viewers or listeners." - L. Ron Hubbard Message from the Director I hope you are enjoying the summer weather and making the most of the many art fairs, conc

"Creativeness could be found to exceed existence itself." - L. Ron Hubbard Message from the Director Summer is the time of the year where creative festivals and activities abound for artists. Never forget the power that lies in your creativity. In a world that often rushes past beauty and depth, your art is a reminder to pause, to feel, and to see things differently. Creativity is not just an outlet, it’s a lifeline. It challenges, heals, and connects. Whether you paint, wri

"Ideas and not battles mark the forward progress of Mankind. Individuals and not masses form the culture of the race. On a lesser scale, actors and other artists work continually to give tomorrow a new form." - L. Ron Hubbard Message from the Director As we move through May—a season of growth, renewal, and momentum—I’ve been reflecting on the incredible resilience and creativity of artists across the country. Every day, artists bring beauty, perspective, and meaning into the

"Viewing and experiencing art on the basis of what one is contributing to it and what others contribute to it is a workable approach. And it would result in approved art and approved appreciation. Such a viewpoint, interesting, also includes some things into the field of art not previously so viewed." - L. Ron Hubbard Message from the Director As I write this, spring is still in full bloom, with all its new life and rejuvenation! After all, spring is all about abundance, and

"The artist injects the theta1 into the culture. And without that theta, the culture becomes reactive." - L. Ron Hubbard Message from the Director Dear fellow artists, As spring arrives, it brings a powerful reminder of new growth and new beginnings. This season invites each of us to use our creative energy to surge forward and make sure our goals for 2026 are on track. With the challenges and healthy competition in the art marketplace today, understanding marketing and promo

"If you look at or listen to any work of art, there is only one thing the casual audience responds to en masse, and if this has it then you too will see it as a work of art. If it doesn't have it, you won't. So what is it ? TECHNICAL EXPERTISE ITSELF ADEQUATE TO PRODUCE AN EMOTIONAL IMPACT. And that is how good a work of art has to be to be good." - L. Ron Hubbard Message from the Director Dear fellow artists, I hope you have gotten 2026 off to a roaring and creative start! W

"Failure of communication origin, then, results in failure of imagination. So the rehabilitation of communication origin rehabilitates, as well, the imagination. This is very good news, indeed, for anyone in the creative arts particularly. But who is not in the creative arts?" - L. Ron Hubbard Message from the Director As we step into a new year, I want to pause and acknowledge the beginning of a fresh chapter for all of us. This is a moment for renewed curiosity, brave ideas

"A true professional may do things pretty easily from all appearances, but he is actually taking care with each little bit that it is just right. "The winner has it instinctively. The loser rarely even grasps the concept of 'do it right.' "Artistic presentation always succeeds to the degree that it is done well . How easily it is done is entirely secondary." - L. Ron Hubbard Message from the Director As we close out this year, I want to acknowledge the dedication and creativ

"Creative and constructive imaginings about the future are not untruths, but are postulated new realities." - L. Ron Hubbard Message from the Director As the end of 2025 approaches, I would like to thank you for your participation in our artist community. Thank you for showing up to our webinars, experimenting, supporting one another, and reminding us all why art matters. I urge you to maximize the holiday season, as typically this is the time of the year where artists sell i

"The greatest joy there is in life is creating. "Splurge on it!" - L. Ron Hubbard Message from the Director The theme for our newsletter this month is the joy of creating. Let’s take a moment to celebrate what brings us all together — the simple, powerful joy of creating. Whether it’s paint on canvas, notes in a melody, words on a page, or pixels on a screen, the act of making something from nothing is pure magic. In a world that often focuses on outcomes, it’s easy to forge

"TECHNICAL EXPERTISE is composed of all the little and large bits of technique known to the skilled painter, musician, actor, any artist. He adds these things together in his basic presentation. He knows what he is doing. And how to do it. And then to this he adds his message." - L. Ron Hubbard Message from the Director With the fall season settling in—cooler air, golden light, and everything touched by that quiet, thoughtful mood—it has reminded me how important the role of

"Men have lived to conquer all other forms of life, from the mastodon to the microbe. Men have lived to build walls and roads and pyramids which have defied the elements for thousands of years. Men have lived to write music which has pleased the gods and lines which have made the angels sigh and the Devil weep." - L. Ron Hubbard Message from the Director Your creativity has value — not just spiritually, but financially too. Making a living as an artist isn’t just possible, it
