FOR ARTISTS AND NON-ARTISTS ALIKE

Creative Residency gathers on the first and third Thursday of each month. Bring your knitting project, an unfinished script, collage, materials, a sketchbook or anything else asking for your attention. There is no expectation to produce or perform. Life is full, so you’re also welcome to join quietly from the kitchen, immersed in the creative act of cooking dinner.

WE BEGIN WITH A BRIEF SOMATIC ACTIVITY.

01.

PERSONAL CREATIVE WORK IS GIVEN 60+ MINUTES.

02.

WE CLOSE WITH ONE OR TWO OPTIONAL SHARES.

03.

Who is Creative Residency for?

  • Those of us with lives in transition, who feel depleted and are in need of community and spaciousness.

  • Folks working in creative fields seeking the beauty and freedom of a personal art practice.

  • Women caught up in the busy-ness of every day life, looking for permission to take time to create.

  • Blocked artists in-need of a sustaining rhythm of inspiration and accountability

Before art was squeezed into the margins of our lives, our daily existence was steeped in the act of making. What if creativity was a dedicated practice woven into our daily rhythms again? And better yet, what if we did it together?
