Academy Weekly: Online Tips, Art Inspo, and Upcoming Online Events This Week
We’re well into this lockdown and we’re getting the hang of it—kind of. Don’t you think? We hope you’ve adjusted and found your routine. One thing’s for sure, we’re staying with you all the way.
Interested in joining one of our several virtual open house tours? Know what to expect and prepare with these Online Open House tips.
Speaking of tips for online activities —which are the only types we have nowadays, anyway—we shared some very useful ones for you to protect your artwork online should you decide to share it with the rest of the worldwide web.
We hope you were able to submit your entries for our Sustainability Design Earth Day contest! We did give you enough heads up, after all. Watch this space this week for the announcement of winners.

Oh, and in case you’ve been getting inspired to chat up a storm through your own podcast show, here are some nifty tricks and tips you should know to help get you started.
Art and Design in Everyday
Miss the outdoors, hanging out at the park with friends, or taking quiet afternoon stroll in the neighborhood? Yeah, we do too. In the meantime, let’s take a look at these beautifully landscaped famous gardens around the world.
Getting bored with just streaming through Netflix? Have some intentional theme for your everyday viewing. If you’re into art and history, we’ve got you covered with these seven movies and TV shows that required the help of art history consultants.
Meanwhile, here’s another dimension to fine art: installation art. Check out this basic overview if this is your first time encountering it, or if you’re just curious or interested. You never know, you might get inspired and it turns out this is your kind of art.
