Inspired by *The Magician* (Tarot Card I), a symbol of manifestation, creative power, intention, and having the tools to create what comes next, this exhibition asks artists to consider: What does it mean to begin. We welcome artwork that explores personal transformation, new chapters, fresh starts, creative awakening, reinvention, possibility, intuition, risk, discovery, or the quiet moments that mark the beginning of something new. (So pretty much anything!) Interpret the theme literally, metaphorically, personally, or abstractly. All mediums and artistic approaches are welcome. **What Does Your Next Beginning Look Like?** Artists are encouraged to submit work that invites viewers to pause, reflect, and consider the transformative moments, both large and small, that shape our lives. All artists 18+ welcome. All mediums welcome. ### Venue New Hartford Artisans Guild 545 Main St. #40 New Hartford, CT 06057 ### Artist Eligibility - Local, Regional and National artists 18 years or older. - Works must be original and not shown in Litchfield or Hartford County within the last year. - No AI artworks allowed. - Members and Non-Members may submit to this show. ### Artwork Requirements - All two-dimensional work must be in good condition, framed and/or ready for installation with hanging hardware, wire, or D-rings already installed on work.
