Tending the Creative Soul

How have you been doing as an artist? What are you doing to stay healthy and creative? When was the last time you got together with other creatives in our region?

We host a regular gathering of visual artists, dancers, fine crafters, musicians, photographers, actors, creative writers, film makers, fiber artists … all people who desire creativity in their lives are welcome and encouraged to network together as Minnesota’s Creative Northwest. This is a casual, non-judgmental time to check in, connect, and see how we can encourage one another. The monthly gatherings are the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 5 to 6 pm via Zoom led by Trey Everett. Join as you are able. Feel free to bring a beverage of your choice.

To participate you will need a computer with a working microphone, internet service, and the Zoom app. If interested, please email Trey at Treyeverettcreates@gmail.com to receive a Zoom invite via email.
