The OAS Autumn Exhibition returns this May, taking over the Hope and ODT Galleries with a members-only showcase celebrating the depth and diversity of our artistic community.

This exhibition provides a valuable opportunity for members who submitted work to the Hope and Sons Art Awards but were not selected for the final exhibition. If you fall into this category, you are invited to submit one artwork with no entry fee.

Creatives don’t lose momentum because they’re unmotivated — they lose it when everything relies on energy instead of structure. This blog explores why consistency feels harder during December–January, the hidden cost of winging your marketing, and how better systems can protect creativity and prevent burnout. Learn how tools like templates, content frameworks, flexible websites, and simple scheduling systems help creative businesses stay visible without being online 24/7, and discover a gentler, more sustainable way to keep moving forward.

As you move through the next few weeks, let your presence online feel gentle, intentional and true. Protect your energy, honour your pace, and let the tools around you hold what you don’t need to carry alone. When you’re ready to step back into full creative momentum, you’ll feel the difference, steady, grounded, and supported. And if you want something that helps you stay visible without draining your spark, the Template Club is here to keep your creativity breathing, even on the busiest days.
