Hey there!
The new year has already started (finally, it seems NYE from a century to me!) and I'm buzzing with excitement to share the kaleidoscope of plans that's about to unfold. Imagine this: the stage is set, the spotlight is on, and "Fluttering Colours" is gearing up to dance its way across stages in cities all over Europe. The behind-the-scenes magic (hysteria) involves a whirlwind of negotiations, tech intricacies, and the coordination of our ever-growing team, now a fabulous 7-member crew. Trust me, the coordination process is as thrilling (and stressful) as the performance itself – a bit like herding artistic butterflies!
While juggling with all this, I've been navigating the mysterious (this is true for me only maybe!) realms of Instagram, crafting a cosy corner on a soon-to-be-unveiled website. I’m creating exclusive merch drops that are not just products but tangible expressions of art, hoping they resonate with your unique taste. Oh, and the SKT London art gallery is all set for a year filled with ceaseless creativity. Yours truly will be steering the ship, curating digital exhibitions that aim to redefine artistic boundaries and whisk audiences away into evocative narratives.
🤫 Exclusive Subscriber Perk! 🎁 As a token of my immense gratitude for your support, I've got a little secret to share. If you're part of this incredible newsletter family, you're in for a treat! When the new merch creations hit the shelves, use the code "IFOLLOWU" at checkout to unveil an exclusive discount. It's my way of saying thank you for being a part of this artistic journey. Keep your eyes peeled and your art-loving hearts ready for some exciting drops!
I also want to take Liquid Sounds workshops all around to share perspectives and celebrate diversity. And nature's palette is also on my mind – envisioning the creation of colours with and in nature. Scouting for the perfect locations is a challenge, but the prospect of marrying art and nature is nothing short of exciting.
Now, let's get real. As we reflect on our ambitious goals, setbacks, and moments of pure joy, I'm profoundly grateful for your unwavering support. Together, I want to reach at least a 25-show milestone this year. But let me spill the tea – this journey has its fair share of challenges. Setbacks and moments of disappointment? Oh, you bet. But hey, that's the human experience for you. Through it all, our shared journey has been a source of inspiration and joy, and I'm itching to continue this incredible adventure.
So, let's chat. What's on your 2024 checklist? Do you think you'll make it? Is there too much pressure? Are year resolutions overestimated? I've seen posts about not mentioning them because what you did is enough, and this is very true. But personally, I don't see anything wrong in a bit of ambition and initiative! With the right spirit, we can achieve incredible things.
This month's muses are truly extraordinary – from the tenacity of Nyad (watch it on Netflix!) to the inspiring reinvention of my mom, who, at 76, embraced new endeavours and created a successful business. Their stories echo the resilience of our fellow artists who, like us, never surrender to the challenges that come their way.
So, spill the beans! Let's turn the page together, inspire each other to dream big, and make this year a canvas of shared dreams and boundless creativity.
With gratitude and anticipation,
