If you feel like you are burnt out and not sure how to continue, look no further than these artistic destinations to feed your soul and stoke your creativity.

On your way to see the art, you can view art in the subways, on murals, and in the galleries of up and coming artists. There is literally something for everyone’s taste in New York City.

Mons, Belgium. This small Belgium city plays host to more than 2 million visitors each year who come to partake in their more than 1,000 annual cultural and artistic events. In 2015 the city played host to a new Van Gogh exhibit, three arts festivals and art-inspired celebrations.

Abu Dhabi. In 2016 and 2017 the city is set to unveil its newest additions to the 24,000-square-meter Saadiyat Island Cultural District. The additions will include the Zayed National Museum and the first Louvre Museum outside of Paris.

Goreme Open-Air Museum, Turkey. If you are seeking something unique to stir your creativity, head over to Turkey to check out this space.
