Creative problem-solving
Build a creative support group
from Embrace Your Weird: Face Your Fears and Unleash Creativity by Felicia Day
How to Apply This
- Connect with local creative enthusiasts. Reach out to local art studios, writing clubs, or community centers to find like-minded individuals. Attend creative workshops, events, or exhibitions in your area where you can meet people who are passionate about the same things you are.
- Generate ideas for local meetups. Brainstorm five specific ways to meet people locally who share your creative passions. For example, you could organize a monthly art critique session at a nearby coffee shop, start a writing group that meets in a local library, or join an existing creative meetup group in your area.
- Cultivate deeper relationships with the individuals you meet. Take the time to engage in meaningful conversations, exchange ideas, and support each other's creative endeavors.
- Name your creative support group and design a logo. Give your support group an official name that reflects its purpose and identity. Collaborate with the members to come up with a meaningful and catchy name. You may also design a simple logo or emblem that represents the essence of your group.
- Choose a date and venue for the first meeting. Set a concrete date and time for your inaugural gathering. Discuss with the group to determine a suitable venue that accommodates the number of participants and allows for creative interactions.
- Send out invitations and make it happen. Send personalized invitations to the individuals you've connected with, providing details about the date, time, and location of the first meeting. Clearly communicate the purpose of the gathering and encourage attendees to bring their creative projects, ideas, or works-in-progress to share with the group.
