Founded in 2019 by Cendrine Marrouat and David Ellis, Auroras & Blossoms is dedicated
- Promoting positive, uplifting and inspirational written and visual art, no matter the topic; and
- Giving artists (ages 13 and over) of all levels a platform where they can showcase their work and build their publishing credits.
Auroras & Blossoms runs regular submission calls for anthologies, a monthly show, an artistic movement (PoArtMo), an artist collective (PoArtMo Collective), and a series of guides for authors and artists. We have also created several poetry forms and a literary genre. Finally, we pay ongoing royalties to artists whose work has been selected to appear in our anthologies and the projects released with the PoArtMo Collective.
