CreativeRush - The Art of Momentum
Tuesday, Feb 7   7:00pm

 

Location: Naked CIty Gallery, 121 N. Mead, Ste. 104 

Doors: 6:45pm

 

Every creative has a time in which the ideas dry up, circumstances prevail and motivation flies out the window. At the same time we've all had days where "it clicks" and the pursuit of producing ideas is unstoppable. Sometimes it works and sometimes we fail in our pursuits. Developing and maintaining the sort of momentum that enhances creative flow isn't easy. Come meet the CreativeRush panelists who will share their stories of the momentum to power past blocks, setbacks and discouragements. 

 

FEBRUARY 2012 PANELISTS: Rebecca Amos * Torin Andersen * Lisa Rundstrom. FREE ADMISSION! More info
