Hi Everyone!
We’re excited to launch Creative Clues, a new monthly feature of Art Starts at Louisville Visual Art. With each new Clue, we’ll provide some pointers to help you succeed and improve.
Creative Clues Showcase
CLUE: NIGHT
Deadline for artwork submission is July 29, 2022 at midnight.
HOW TO: Creative Clues “How to:” will be taking the month off, but we have left you some inspiration for your new July Clue.
Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.

“I often lay on that bench looking up into the tree, past the trunk and up into the branches. It was particularly fine at night with the stars above the tree.”
Mirac Creepingbear, Answered Prayer, 1985
Only in the darkness can you see the stars.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Children’s Picture Book, Follow the Drinking Gourd, Jeanette Winter, 1992

Yours is the light by which my spirit’s born:
– you are my sun, my moon,
and all my stars.

Vincent Van Gogh, Starry Night Over the Rhone, 1888
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
