Some walk by, never noticing the battles others carry.
Art gives those battles a voice, a colour, a shape.
At Artbeat Studio, we turn struggle into expression—and expression into healing.

How to prepare art for display: While each art piece will need to be handled differently, here are some examples of how to prepare your art.

-Paint the edges of your canvas to give it a professional look
-Attach a wire for easy hanging
-Add your name, the title, date of creation, and medium to the back for easy identification
-Add a finishing spray/varnish to any work that may be transferable (pastels, graphite, charcoal, etc...)
-Protect your paper art with a frame or a plastic sheet to avoid folds or wrinkles

Following these guidelines contributes to the protection of your work and benefits us in the hanging and curation process.

Let us know if you have any questions about submitting your work to Art from the Heart. We'll be happy to answer.

[ID: Some simple images and graphics depicting the information shared in the caption. Art from the Heart guidelines stating art must be prepared to hang, created within the last year, smaller than 20" x 20", and appropriate for public viewing.]
