I can imagine someone walking away thinking about all kinds of things — what did I learn about history from digging through this older art? What does it mean to own art? How do copyright laws, which have grown increasingly lengthy over time, help or hurt the ability to be creative? And then there are more personal questions: what did I learn about my own creative process? I hope that in most cases submitters come away with a newfound feeling of connection — to history, community, or their own creative ability. At the very least, you will walk away having created something, and that’s a wonderful thing.
