Sometimes all it takes is to gain courage and peer through the unknown, what waits ahead can be more beautiful than what we expect! Despite all the hardship of this past year, for the new one that follows we wish you evermore courage, kindness, solidarity and creativity. Trust in art and keep it as your sword and shield. Have no doubt that it will guide you through the dark and into where light, freedom and understanding is. Happy new year everyone!
