What a year! 2014 is drawing to a close, which makes it the perfect time to look back at everything that's happened to us in the past 365 rotations of the earth. On our end of things, the Gallereo site got a fresh new look and the community expanded greatly, but this is a time to look back at your own creative successes (and, let's be honest, maybe the occasional failure) so that you can start to make some vague plans at where the next beautiful 365 rotations of the earth (aka 'days' ;-) ) will take you.
Hopefully, the last year was one of creative fulfilment and success for you! Whether you took your first steps into the wider world of the arts, capped off a fantastic career or are just beginning to make a name for yourself, life in the art world is an emotional rollercoaster ride that we certainly wouldn't want to have any other way. Things don't always go our own way, but every experience can help drive the passions and perspectives that make our artistic expressions unique, valuable, and beautiful.
If things didn't go quite that well for you, now's a great chance to rest up, recharge, and gear up for another kick at the artistic can. Think about new directions to take your artistic endeavours, and new ways to achieve your creative goals. New years can help make meaningful fresh starts, and are great times of rebirth and reinvention. If you're feeling a bit stuck, why not take a trip back through the last year of the Gallereo blog for some new inspiration? We've covered tons of artists that might provide you with some new perspectives, and we're beginning a brand new section on project inspiration that will hopefully keep you on your creative toes in the upcoming year.
Most importantly of all, though, it's important to simply remember that being alive and doing what we love is one of the greatest ways to muddle through this funny old thing called life. Whether success is yours or something you're striving for, artistic expression is one of the most enjoyable ways to create. So with that, let us say, "Farewell to 2014!", and here's to a great 2015 for everyone!
