LVAG announces the upcoming online “Creative Inspiration Art Show.” The online exhibit will feature works of art that have creatively inspired the artist in some way. Inspiration is defined as mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially creatively. Creative is defined as being inspired and then motivated to produce something creatively. In other words, how we experience the world as artists inspires us to create art.
