This month, TIyyc CREATIVE is introducing 2 fresh, new series, with new opportunities for all the creatives in our community.

ARTiculate is our new comment and discussion thread series, moderated by artist and author David Andrew Wiebe. David will be asking important, thought-provoking questions that we hope will motivate YOU to share your opinions and engage in discussion with fellow TIyyc community members. One of the things that we missed most during the pandemic was the organic sharing of experiences, ideas, and opinions with our fellow artists. We know that the independent creative life is both challenging and inspirational. ARTiculate will be YOUR opportunity to challenge and inspire others with your respectful, personal comments!
