Hello my dear Steemians and Art Fans,
Today we wanted to share with you an important decision that we slowly were approaching over last few months. I am saying we, that are @stef1 and my hubby @myskye who most of the time were acting as main Curator and runner of the Project. But we now came to the moment when we had to decide what is more important for us:
- for @myskye fully concentrate on renovation of our house, because we are now combining Steemit and renovation that is why we are not able to do much for us
- myself @stef1 I have now more tasks from my work place and more responsibilities, that require working unexpected hours and high level of staff who are getting sick and need to be covered.
- we need time for us too after working non-stop since @art-venture was created in 2018 we did not miss a day

We would like to thank all of you who delegated your Steem Power for the Visual Art creators and we would like to ask you to withdraw it now
I will update @booming account operator Joanna about the closure of the Project, we may still have it till end of the month if we are lucky but it could also be stopped with immediate effect, will depend of the Steemit Team decision.
@stef1 account will still be around and we will use it to give Upvotes when we have time.
I have followed your work for a long time and know how much effort you have put into it, how many hours a good curation means. I have experienced many highs, read about lows and strong disappointment. Nevertheless, you have always kept the ball rolling - and you can be proud of that, as of everything you have established in a wonderful way!
Ich wünsche euch alles, alles Gute für ein erweitertes Privatleben und freue mich darauf, wenigstens @stef1 immer mal wieder über den Weg laufen zu können!

Halle liebe Christiane,
Danke für deine netten Worte über unserer Arbeit, und wenn ich Arbeit sage dann meine ich wirklich Arbeit. Es hat täglich so viel Zeit in Anspruch genommen.
Langsam aber sicher hatten wir unser Interesse für das Magazin verloren, besonders mein Mann der von Tag zu Tag wenige und wenige Zeit mit der curation auf Steem verbracht hat. Das war dann das letzte Signal, mit dem Magazin erst einmal aufzuhören.
Wer weiß wie es weiter geht, aber wie du es schon gelesen hast, werden wir versuchen mit @Stef1 weiterhin da zu sein.
Ja, wir hatten auch ein paar schöne Frühlingstage, natürlich mit Kaffee und Kuchen. Ich wünsche dir auch eine schöne Woche,
Karly

It's a shame to see it finish but I understand. You have helped support many artists the last few years and your hard work was much appreciated.
All the best for the future! :)

Hi Ian, nice to hear from you and hope you are doing well.
Yes, time to time we need breaks and some changes who knows it might start again. But currently we do not feel like we do efficient work as before and seems like drained out. We still continue @stef1 posts and not completely leaving :)

:( I never expected to see this news one day. I am really sad. Because this project is a very fair curator and thanks to it, we had the chance to find great art posts in its every magazine. Thank you very much for putting your signature under such a wonderful project between your responsibilities in business life and real life and for bringing us together under the roof of @art-venture.
Thanks to you, I found the motivation to be active on Steemit. You have contributed a lot to my account on Steemit. Therefore, a special thank you very much.
I am always with you in your new projects or if you activate this project again ❤️

Since we started the project it was already stopped once and then restarted again, it just depends on what is happening around and how busy we are. We really enjoyed to learn so many creative Artists and friends of Artists and Photographers that it is a real small community. We will keep @stef1 running so on and off will be keeping Artists curated with "Stef" account.
You have grown up into confident and engaged leader and would be great to see that you are keep being one of our active member :)

Although it sounds bad, but I hope all is well. Yes, I hope Art-venture support projects for all young artists can return as soon as possible. Thank you very much for all the support and good appreciation from you so far to us. Without you we are nothing.
Thanks @stef1 and thanks too @art-venture🙏

You have said it very well my friend @stef1, every project has a beginning and an end.
Changes always bring with them new expectations. I am sure that they will be very successful in their personal projects and that they will return with an excellent project that will help strengthen the artists of this great Community.
I am grateful and proud to have had your great support, not only for my work but also for many of my friends and fellow Steemians.
My best wishes, happiness and health to you and your husband @myskye.

I can totally understand you and I often wondered how you could have such dedication. We are also building at home now and it´s complicated to find time when one´s life is upside down. I have great appreciation for your curation work you did all this time and wish you very good luck in your renovation. I look forward to your posts as @stef. Saludos!

Thank you Romanie for your supportive words, it is indeed very difficult to combine everything and tried our best to keep it going for longer time. I hope you also moving forward with your building work, luckily you have more sunny day that probably gives some positive energy and good mood. We will see what else we will be able to finish this summer, of course a lot depends on finance :)

You have been on the platform since my beginnings, and since then I really liked your project to support Steemit's quality artists.
You did a hard job during these years, with each magazine, support, comment or vote!
One of the best and most beautiful projects that the platform has, never expect to see the end! I want to thank you for all the support towards my art and that of the friends of the community, we will always be grateful for your effort, dedication and love of art.
Much success to both of you, I hope you make a successful makeover and lead a long and happy life.
Thousands of blessings, a big hug from Venezuela, we will never forget you! 💙💙💙🙏🏼🎨

Aww unbelievable, this is so unpleasant to many young artists, I could vividly remember it been almost four years or so for the great work to support young artists, the wonder part is that, you dedicated much of that time to support people, you are indeed did very well! I want to wish you all the best with your new decision
There is time for everything in life, I pray things will fall into pleasant places for you, you and your family are protected, God bless but of a truth, everyone will definitely miss your wonderful support, dedication, and timely active to ensure young artist got support.
All the best @stef1 and @myskye
