"As creatives, one of the most important things we can do is support and empower the next generation of designers, makers and innovators. Arts thread is an extraordinary resource dedicated to that endeavour, creating visibility, connectivity and opportunity on a global level. Arts Thread has created an incredibly dynamic community, fostering new ideas, collaborations and enabling the creative process. Beyond the site (which is beautifully designed), beyond the work (a constant source of inspiration), this is its true point of differentiation."
