Description:
The pandemic has created many challenges for artists. We’re not able to collaborate with our peers or connect with our audiences in person, and participating in live artistic events still feels risky and difficult. And while we are used to embracing ambiguity as artists, the stresses of the time can make it hard to stay motivated and on track with our work.
This workshop is designed for dedicated artists who want to reconnect with their inspiration and establish a more effective and rewarding way to walk the artist’s path during the remainder of the pandemic. Creativity coach Marie Schumacher will present some of the latest ideas about creativity and resilience to help you:
- Reignite your motivation to create, practice and work on projects
- Freshen up your routines and adopt a few new habits
- Activate your network and circle of support
- Reconnect with why art matters
