How Creativity Carries Us

Friends and Artists,

We hope that you are enjoying a cozy spring afternoon watching the April showers outside. This week we are focusing on how creativity is helping us process and understand our changing context. We are the pioneers of finding a new way of survival in an era of crisis and uncertainty. As we continue to adjust to sheltering in place and social distancing, many of us are turning to creative activities as a bright spot in our day.

Whether it's experimenting in the kitchen, exploring crafts online, or dusting off a book you've been meaning to read, creativity plays a unique role in how each person chooses to make it through their day. As we embrace the changes in our world and in our daily lives, it is critical to take the time to invest in our mental, physical and creative wellbeing. It's not about being productive, but rather to nourish the soul.

Now more than ever, we have more time to create, an act which brings back the focus on hope and restoration. Inspiration can be found anywhere. So take a breath. Dabble in something new. Learn fearlessly. Embrace your curiosity. Give yourself permission to keep dreaming. Explore new ways to bring meaning into your everyday.

In the coming weeks, we will continue to be a source of hope, inspiration and moral support. For more information about our mission, visit our website, or contact us at [hidden email]. Keep the creativity flowing!

Sincerely,
The SWCA Team
