Our Mission
Friends and Readers,
During this unique time of Shelter in Place orders and COVID-19, many of us working on creative projects have found our creativity or motivation dampened. There are so many factors at play: isolation, uncertainty, boredom, and fear.
But also, we have time inside our heads to puzzle out our next creative project, or room to explore ideas in a different form, or new perspectives emerging that will sharpen our focus about what messages we want our art form to express.
Our mission is to provide a space for creatives to share their recent experiences with others, contemplating how their creativity has been affected, inspired, transformed.
Please, share your thoughts with us!
