CENTRAL CREATIVES SNEAK PEEK REOPENING
You're invited to the Central Creatives Co-Work of Art sneak peek reopening on Friday, June 18th! Visit the artists' studios, view artwork in the galleries - and come visit me @ my idea hatchery, where I'll have a limited number of books available for sale, along with bookmarks and pendants - and you can get information about upcoming classes!

While this is a FREE event, in order to abide by NYS guidelines on the number of people allowed in the space at any one time, Central Creatives is "ticketing" the event. There are a limited number of spots available throughout the evening and everyone will need to wear a mask.

VIRTUAL WRITING WORKSHOP: TELL YOURSELF A NEW STORY
Thursday, July 8, 2021
7:00 PM - 8:30 PM ET/US
Fairport Public Library via Zoom

“I can't write a book.” “No one cares what I have to say.” “I'll never have another good idea.” “I'm not really a writer.” These are just some of the stories we tell ourselves that create roadblocks along our creative path. But imagine the possibilities if you could tell yourself a different story! In this session, we'll use reflective writing prompts and fun exercises rooted in the improv principle of “Yes And” to silence the inner critic and turn those self-limiting statements upside down. It's time to write a new story about your creative journey - and yourself!
