THIS MONTH’S TOPIC: TBA
This month’s I&A facilitator: Erin Hallagan Clare
What’s a Creativity Mixer, you ask…
Imagine the best parts of a French Salon with creative play, inspiring discussion, and supported sharing of works in progress.
It’s where we come together to find inspiration and support one another’s creative growth.
Each month, a certified Inward & Artward Creative Facilitator leads a bite-sized, yet brimful workshop focused on universal aspects of the creative process—such as working through common blocks or idea generation—followed by a lively salon where participants have the option to share a work-in-progress in any artistic medium.
Held on the Last Sunday of every month during our regular seasons.
The agenda:
6:00-6:15 | A short “settling in” task
6:15-6:55 | Workshop
6:55-7:00 | Break
7:00-8:00 | Creativity Salon
For the second half of each Mixer, we'll open the floor up for a "Creativity Salon" where folks will be given the chance to share 5 minutes of a piece or idea they're currently working through. There will be a sign-up sheet at the door as you arrive; we will get through as many shares as time allows.
What to bring:
Notebook/pen or pencil
An open mind!
A creative work-in-progress (in any artistic medium) if you feel so inclined
