September Call for Art

Introducing the Tide Calendar
Welcome to the beginnings of The Creative Tide. I brainstormed a creative calendar to introduce some interesting themes to think about, and now it looks like we will have a fun year ahead of us. I hope that by sharing themes in advance, people will have more time to create art and poetry for the themes that resonate with them. 

This month's theme: Water
​For the first monthly art and poetry round-up, the creative submission period will be open for two months instead of one as more and more people learn about the Tide, so please tell your friends! The theme for August and September 2022 is "Welcome to the Tide," or welcome to the community. We are accepting art and poetry submissions that flow with the theme of water.

​Questions to consider
Does being from an ocean community make you feel connected to nature or others?
When you think of the Tide, what words, ideas, images or feelings come to mind?
What ideas or feelings can you describe or illustrate through metaphors of water?

​Submission period
We are accepting submissions through the third Friday of each month and want to publish the round-up by the final Friday. For this period, we will accept creative submissions from August 15th-September 23rd and will publish by September 30th.
