Part art-making class, part creative project accountability group, Creative Workspace is for artists and wannabe artists of all disciplines!

<h1>Creative Workspace</h1><h2>A 12-week class</h2><p>Part art-making class, part creative project accountability group, Creative Workspace is for artists and wannabe artists of all disciplines. This is not a technique class. Nope. Technique is useful, but it&#x27;s not the thing that lights my fire. Ideas are what really get me going. </p><p>Through weekly assignments and in-class exercises, we explore a million different ways to spark imagination, and we dig into questions like, “What do I want to say with my art?” “What do I want to be putting into the world?” and “How can I use art to respond to what&#x27;s going on around me or process what I&#x27;m experiencing?” </p><p>Sound heavy? Yeah, sometimes it is. We also do a lot of laughing, writing, wondering, moving, discovering, breathing, drawing, reading, watching, listening, and a little crying. Artists whose work we&#x27;ve looked at for inspiration in past sessions include Toni Morrison, Lynda Barry, Amy Sherald, Jad Abumrad, Yoko Ono, Miranda July, Hannah Gadsby, and Beyoncé. </p><p>We&#x27;ll spend the first half of the session making as many different things as possible, without being too precious about it. The goal in the first 6 weeks is just to be productive, and to let our internal editors take a rest. For the second 6 weeks, each person will choose one project or piece to focus on and develop for our final showing, with the help of constructive feedback from the group.</p><p></p><h3>Winter Session:</h3><h3>Online Mondays Jan 9 – March 27</h3><h3>6-8pm Pacific Time via Zoom</h3><h3>+ an in-person final showing in Seattle</h3><p></p><p><strong>$150-$450</strong> - Registration is sliding scale to support equitable access.

<h2>ABOUT THE FACILITATOR:</h2><p>Hi! I'm Jenna Bean Veatch. I'm a multi-disciplinary performing artist and queer single-mama-by-choice who has been accused of creating “pure, unadulterated, heart-stopping whimsy.” (Thanks, Bret Fetzer.)</p><p>I've made dance-theater shows, stop-action animation, music, written work, prompts, pants, community gatherings, and one gorgeous little human. I'm also the creator and host of The Not-Creepy Gathering for People Who Want to Fall In Love, a participatory event designed to facilitate connection and spread love. </p><p>My work has been supported by Artist Trust, 4Culture, the Seattle Mayor's Office of Arts &amp; Cultural Affairs, and the Bossak/Heilbron Charitable Foundation. I hold an MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts &amp; Creative Inquiry from the California Institute of Integral Studies. </p><p>Wanna know more?
