Hello friends, I’ve been looking forward to writing this message for a long time. I’m thrilled to officially share that Animal Image Makers™ is returning in 2026 — reimagined, refreshed, and ready to inspire in an entirely new way. When AIM was first created, the goal was simple: to elevate the art of animal imagery and bring together a community of passionate creators. That heart hasn’t changed — but the vision has grown. In 2026, Animal Image Makers will return as the Animal Image Makers Creative Conference — an immersive, inspiring experience designed for all animal artists -creatives of every kind who find inspiration in animals. This will be more than a conference. It will be a creative reset. A place to reconnect with your artistic voice. A space to be inspired, challenged, and energized by a community that truly understands why animals matter so deeply in our work. A chance to reconnect with the family you've come to know. |
