Happy New Year! Thankfully with this new year, things are opening back up, and life is moving on. The pandemic affected life as we knew it, and our heart goes out to the loved ones of those who lost someone. This year is a year for a new beginning. We held our first in-person art exhibit as things opened up. This took place in December 2022 at the Portland art museum. All the art contest participants’ works were on display. As well as, everybody has a portfolio available online hosted by Designed Conviction the Magazine. We are planning the next event in April, which will be held in Tacoma, Washington. Make sure to have your friends and family subscribe to the free newsletter by visiting the Designed Conviction website. To get the latest updates. I want to thank all the folks who believe in what we are working to do. It has been a long journey, and we have faced many obstacles. Still, there is much work to be done, but we don’t ever give up. We believe in you that you deserve a chance at redemption. Everybody can make changes. Our goal is to highlight those who have and let people see you in a different light. Thank you for your contributions; keep up the amazing work!

Announcement

There is one last update we have to tell you about. It is a bittersweet announcement. We will do a yearly issue of designed conviction the magazine. Our decision to do this has a lot to do with the push to do more in-person events and create results for those who participate in our community. With the addition of Designed Conviction Foundation, we aim to create new opportunities, including grants for things such as education. We hope you are not disappointed, and next January, you can expect to receive a longer more comprehensive annual edition.
