What is The “Life Goes In Circles” Project?

“Life Goes In Circles” is an international collaborative of creative minds who explore the human condition and the environment around us.

What is the goal of “Life Goes In Circles”?

The ultimate goal of this project is to unite people through the realization of our similarities and to together celebrate our differences.  This project is meant to inspire, heal, educate, and inform.

Where does the name Rippled Thoughts come from?

The name ‘Rippled Thoughts’, comes from the idea that each one of us is a beautiful ripple in this universe and as our ripples intertwine and overlap, wisdom and peace can be shared.

What are the commercial objectives of “Life Goes In Circles”?

“Life Goes In Circles” is not about monetinizing the work of its artists, but rather about the creation of a powerful new collaborative of artists whose work explores the human condition.  In the future there are loose plans for some sales of prints online and at “Life Goes In Circles” gallery showings; however, this would be at the discretion of each artist as to whether to participate or not, and to work out sales terms with Rippled Thoughts. Other ideas have been brought to our attention on how to subsidize costs as this project is privately funded at this time; however, before any ideas become reality we would want a consensus from the Rippled Thoughts community of artists.

What is the selection criteria for artists?

The selection criteria are based on an artists ability to capture the essence of the human spirit.  “Life Goes In Circles” has artists who have been published worldwide and others who have only had one or two small gallery showings or publications.  Awards and education are wonderful, but what we truly care about more is ability to portray the human spirit and our involvement with the world around us.  We also stay vigilant, for artists who simply want to use the project for exposure rather than caring about the fundamental ideas behind The “Life Goes In Circles” Project.

How can I become a “Life Goes In Circles” artist?

Artists can find a guideline for submissions by going to the appropriate page, images, words, or sounds, in the ‘Submissions’ section.
