Creative Tuesdays!

The Creative Tuesdays workshops are peer-led, affirming gatherings to connect, explore, and create with other creative folks!

We meet the 3rd Tuesday of each month from 6:45PM-8PM for a free guided poetry workshop for all experience lelvels and love new friends!

For so many, healing can be found through art no matter the medium you choose to express yourself. Join us as we dive into the many forms of expressive art, let's break free! Our goal is to create spaces for all experience levels to explore new creative outlets and build a support system in a nonjudgemental space. Attendees are welcome to join as few or as many of our workshops as wanted/able.

This is a family friendly event welcoming those under 18 if accompanied with an adult.

In This Space We:

• Are nonjudgemental and uplifting.
• Agree it's okay to not be okay.
• Embrace that art is about the process not the product - we're all artists!
• Work together to make everyone feel welcome.
• Are here to make friends and welcome all levels of social anxiety.
• Do not tolerate "othering" people, microagressions, or other forms of bigotry (intentional or not) including but not limited to albeism, homophobia, transphobia racism, classism, or ageism. We own our impact when we cause harm.

This event is hosted by Peer Support Space. Learn more at peersupportspace.org

Upcoming Topics (subject to change):

• February 17: Creative Tuesdays Funding Together

In February, Creative Tuesday will take the form of a peer led funding workshop. Rather than a traditional instructional session, this gathering will be a shared working space where participants come together to discuss funding opportunities, work on applications in real time, and share resources, strategies, and insights with one another.

The intention is to create a supportive and collaborative environment where participants can move funding ideas forward together, centering collective knowledge and mutual support.

• March 17: Creative Tuesdays Advocacy Through Art

In March, we will host Advocacy Through Art, a program I have facilitated previously. This session will be peer led and discussion based, inviting participants to share how they are currently using art as a form of advocacy, explore different creative approaches to social change, and learn from one another’s practices and experiences.

This space emphasizes reflection, exchange, and community rooted advocacy through creative expression.

• April 21: Creative Tuesdays Creative Shares

In April, Creative Tuesday will be an open Creative Share space. Participants will be invited to share works in progress, talk about creative projects they are developing, and exchange feedback and encouragement in a supportive community centered setting.

All sessions are grounded in a peer led and community centered approach, prioritizing shared learning, accessibility, and collective care.
