Ele Willoughby, PhD<p>Every year I participate in <a href="https://spore.social/tags/ArtAdventCalendar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArtAdventCalendar</span></a>. It’s a great way to fill your feeds with art at the end of the year. All are welcome &amp; it’s definitely not just for people who celebrate Christmas. Join in! It can be a bit of an antidote to all the commercialism of the season cause it’s just about sharing art. I tend to focus on recent art.
