Inside the Frame: April 14
Workshops, inspiration, and a photography critique you won’t want to miss!
Hi!
Hope you’re easing into the week with some creative energy. I’ve been deep in planning mode lately - with new Contatto Arts events, workshops, and a special photography critique on the horizon, there’s so much to look forward to.
Just a little reminder: art isn’t only what we make, it’s how we move, connect, and grow. Whether you’re creating nonstop or simply soaking it all in right now, your presence in this space matters.
Scroll on for upcoming happenings, calls for artists and inspiration to carry you through the week.
With love,
~ Caterina

Art Book of the Week
The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron
This book has been everywhere on my TikTok lately - pretty sure we can thank Doechii for bringing it back into the spotlight. If you’ve read it (or even just heard the buzz), you know it’s one of those books that can really shift your perspective. I think it’s finally time I dive in. Might even document the journey here. Stay tuned!
Have you read it? Check it out!
