Inspirations #1: Football
The goal of Art Loves Sport is to show sportart as diverse as possible. Different types of art, different types of sports and different artists. There are a lot of initiatives that inspire Art Loves Sport daily and continue to push me to add new content, artist or blogposts about sportart. On the territory of football there are a lot of initiatives that focus solely on the art of this beautiful game. Here I want to share the ones that inspire me with you!
