Because it doesn't feel like business as usual this Thursday, your weekly Featured Artist Interview will return next week

Instead a message from OtherPeoplesPixels Co-founder and Environmental Artist Jenny Kendler:

Standing together, beauty is meaningful...

In these difficult times when our country is so divided, we may feel abandoned by our government. So if we can no longer look up for help — we should instead look around. Artist communities have always been powerful, and it is more important than ever that we stand together. We can use creative thinking to find ways to heal the wounds that divide us.

Many of us we feel worried for ourselves and our neighbors facing discrimination — and frightened for the future of our beautiful planet, under threat from insatiable development. We cannot let this become the new normal. Beauty and creativity are deep wells we can continue to draw from, to find new ways to make our world a better place. Art stokes our fires and brings us together. So, remember you're not alone...and keep the flame alive.
