Creativity Matters
April 14 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Embracing Possibility
April’s Creativity Matters theme is Embracing Possibility, and we’ll be exploring it through the imaginative world of Surrealism. Rather than sampling many artistic styles, we’ll dive into this single movement, which sought to unlock the possibilities of the unconscious and challenge the limits of rational thinking and “reality.” As you experiment with different Surrealist techniques, you’ll be invited not only to create, but also to reflect on where you may feel stuck, the assumptions you carry, and the new possibilities that might be waiting just beneath the surface.
Project Options
We will have supplies for Project Options A, D, and E from the monthly Creativity Matters packet*:
- Juxtaposition Collages: Combine unexpected elements in a surrealist collage to challenge familiar assumptions and imagine a world full of new possibilities.
- Automatic Drawing: Let go of conscious control and draw freely, allowing your subconscious to guide the creative process.
- Possibilities of Dreams: Use the medium of your choice to bring your dreams to life, exploring the hidden possibilities and truths they reveal.

What is Creativity Matters?
Creativity Matters is a drop-in small group for teens and adults to slow down, connect, and explore monthly spiritual themes together through art and imagination.
It’s less about skill and more about play, allowing intuition, reflection, and creativity to guide us. Think of it as a gentle space where your right brain gets to dance with your left.
Each gathering offers time for sharing, creating, and simply being together. No experience is needed. Just bring your curiosity and a playful spirit.
