  • Theme: \u201cAurora\u201d \u2013 The Shimmer of Becoming<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • This season, step into Aurora: the soft, luminous space between winter\u2019s hush and the first light of the New Year. Where snow muffles the world, Christmas lights glimmer warmly, and endings dissolve into beginnings. Aurora is the pause, the breath, the quiet threshold where reflection meets hope.<\/li>\n
  • We invite pieces that capture the spirit of Aurora: radiant, reflective, and full of gentle transformation. The shimmer of freshly fallen snow, a candle flickering against frost, the hush before midnight, or the first spark of a new dawn; moments that hold light, renewal, and the subtle magic of transition.<\/li>\n
  • What fits Aurora?<\/strong>
    \nThe quiet architecture of winter \u2014 stillness, frost, soft snowfall, and the serene cold that slows the world.
    \nThe tender echoes of warmth in dark months \u2014 not celebration, but memory, wonder, and the remnants of glow.
    \nThe subtle shift toward the New Year \u2014 anticipation, renewal, and the delicate unfurling of beginnings.
    \nLight that pierces or comforts \u2014 candles, stars, lanterns, auroras, distant sparklers; small flames held against vast night.
    \nMoments of inwardness \u2014 reflection, transition, clarity, the quiet work of becoming.
    \nSeasonal rituals and the intimacy of winter \u2014 shared gestures, held breaths, solitary evenings, the weight and warmth of presence.
    \nThresholds and dawns \u2014 spaces between what was and what will be, where transformation moves softly.<\/em><\/li>\n
  • NOTE:<\/strong>\u00a0All works whether exploring joy, melancholy, magic, or renewal should feel illuminated by Aurora\u2019s essence. Whether your piece is bright or subtle, celebratory or contemplative, it should carry the soul of Aurora: glowing, wintry, hopeful, and touched by the promise of a new dawn.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
