The Joy & Creativity Collective

Everything feels heavy. The news is a lot. It’s hard to permit ourselves to be joyous and even more difficult to motivate ourselves to be creative: but joy and art aren’t frivolous when the world is breaking. It is how we survive it.

Join us monthly to make art, find humor in darkness, and remember that creativity is resistance. Forget "good art." Forget experience. This is a monthly gathering to reclaim creativity as a lifeline. We make things with our hands to remember our power. We laugh together to remember we're not alone.

This is for you if:

• You used to create and miss it

• You feel paralyzed and need a spark

• You believe that making something beautiful, weird, or funny is a radical act of hope

How It Works:

• Each month, we gather (online & in-person) around a new, playful creative ‘brief.’ We provide inspiration and the community; you bring your curious self. All you have to do is show up.

Meeting monthly online and in person. To register for the next event, see our eventbrite page.
