Creativity is often described as a personal journey, but its greatest impact is found in the connections it creates. Volume 16: Engage explores the relationships between artists, families, communities, and creative work through thoughtful essays, inspiring artist features, and practical creative inspiration. Readers will discover stories that celebrate generosity, collaboration, and the simple joy of sharing what we create with others.

Featuring contributors including Emily Roth, Sandy King, Cherie Burbach, Susan Taylor Brown, Maya Ramineedi, and a talented team of curators, Engage continues the Journal’s evolution into a beautifully curated publication that blends artistic inspiration with meaningful storytelling. It reminds readers that creativity has the power to build lasting relationships and strengthen communities.
