Creativity Matters
May 5 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Awakening Curiosity
May’s Creativity Matters theme is Awakening Curiosity, and invites us to follow our curiosity wherever it leads in our creative process, letting questions, wonder, and unexpected interests guide what we notice and make. Through art, we’ll explore new connections, try new approaches, and discover what emerges when curiosity is our starting point.
Project Options
We will have supplies for Project Options A, D, and E from the monthly Creativity Matters packet*:
- Curiosity Collage: inspired by the packet’s Cabinet of Curiosity activity, this activity invites us to create a visual collection of small, intriguing objects and images arranged as if in a personal mini-museum.
- Getting Curious with Cards: Make art inspired by tarot or oracle cards, following your curiosity wherever it leads. You might pull a card, then use its imagery, symbols, or mood for inspiration in your art. Or skip the deck entirely and let curiosity guide you in creating your own original card from scratch.
- Beginner’s Mind Art: Create a series of artworks based on something ordinary or familiar, approaching it with a “beginner’s mind.” Choose a simple subject and make multiple variations of it over time, changing at least one small element each time.

What is Creativity Matters?
Our Creativity Matters group helps community members engage in monthly themes and explore spiritual growth through creative expression.
It’s all about allowing our intuition and imagination to guide us, not just our logic and reflective minds. Think of it as making room for your right brain to dance with your left brain.
Creativity Matters is a high school and adult group designed for everyone — no experience or artistic skill is required! Just bring a playful spirit and adventurous attitude.
