ABOUT THE SERIES:
The series provides a forum for exploring the many facets of creativity
and for discovering other people interested in creativity. Creativity
matters in all aspects of society. If you want to reconnect with your
inherent creativity and explore new ways of expressing it, don't miss
this series. It will cover topics about creativity in all forms
(including, but not limited to, arts), creative thinking, creative
communities, creativity and education, creativity in organizations,
creative persons, the creative process, creative aging and more. The
series includes opportunities to learn with others, to think in new
ways, and to generate new ideas. The format of the monthly Creativity
Networking sessions will be informal and will usually include about
30 minutes of a presentation or experiential workshop (from a
different facilitator each month), 30 minutes of dialogue about the
topic, and 30 minutes of networking with other participants. Come and
be inspired to apply your imagination and invent new possibilities
for yourself and your community.
In addition, watch for Creativity Networking coming to the
New Britain Museum of American Art on July 31 and August 28!
The Creativity Networking series is part of a larger initiative
to widely promote a more "Creative Connecticut." More details about
this statewide project coming soon!
