The Lifelong Journey of Creation: From Childhood to Retirement
​In every stage of life, the act of creating plays a crucial role in fostering personal growth, well-being, and a sense of fulfillment. Whether you're a child exploring the wonders of imagination or a retiree embracing newfound leisure, the importance of creating remains constant. From our kid camps to our classes at assisted living facility we know the significance of creativity at each life stage contributes to a rich and fulfilling existence.

Childhood:
Nurturing Imagination and LearningIn the early years, children naturally gravitate towards creativity. Encouraging artistic expression through activities like drawing, painting, and storytelling not only fuels their imagination but also lays the foundation for essential cognitive skills. Our kid art camps create a safe and encouraging space to help kids thrive. 

Adolescence:
Self-Discovery Through Artistic ExpressionAs individuals navigate the challenges of adolescence, creativity becomes a powerful outlet for self-expression. Whether it's writing, music, or visual arts, engaging in creative endeavors helps teenagers discover their identity and cope with the complexities of growing up.  Many of our classes are open for teens. We encourage parents to bring their teens and treat the classes as a time to bond over creating.

Adulthood:
Balancing Work and Passion ProjectsAmidst the responsibilities of adulthood, it's vital to carve out time for creative pursuits. Whether it's a side hustle, a hobby, or a passion project, creating allows adults to maintain a healthy work-life balance and cultivate a sense of purpose beyond their professional obligations. We believe our classes can help with this by bringing creativity and community together.

Midlife:
Renewal and RediscoveryAs individuals reach midlife, the need for renewal and rediscovery becomes apparent. Engaging in creative activities can be a rejuvenating experience, providing an outlet for stress relief and a means to explore new interests. Whether you’re in the chaos of parenting and just needing a break to recharge or you’re an empty nester trying to rediscover who you are we feel embracing activities outside of your comfort zone to be beneficial.

Retirement:
Embracing Leisure and Artistic PursuitsRetirement marks a new chapter of freedom and leisure. Creative activities during this stage not only offer a fulfilling way to spend time but also contribute to mental well-being. From painting to writing, retirees can explore a variety of artistic pursuits to stay mentally active and socially connected. Staying connected after leaving your work family is important and we help connect you to others.

A Lifelong Journey of CreativityIn conclusion, the journey of creation is a lifelong endeavor that contributes to personal development, mental well-being, and a sense of purpose. Regardless of age, embracing creativity enriches our lives, fostering continuous growth and satisfaction.

By acknowledging and promoting creativity at every life stage, we can ensure a fulfilling and well-rounded existence. So, whether you're guiding a child's first steps into the world of art or exploring your creative side in retirement, remember that the act of creating is a timeless and invaluable pursuit.

SO EXCITING!

I have been accepted to an artist residency in the Champagne region of France at Chateau Orquevaux for the month of April in 2024.   Only 20% of applicants are accepted to this program.  If you know me you know this region of the world has been a bucket list item and this residency is a dream come true.

Originally built in the early 18th-century in the  in the style of Louis XV, Château Orquevaux is a private residence now owned by the Attias family. Ziggy Attias is an artist, award-winning filmmaker and the founder and director of the Chateau Orquevaux Art Residency. Attias took on this project in the hopes of creating a community and home for artists of all mediums, backgrounds, and stages in their journey. The residency has grown remarkably over the years and artists from 125 countries have applied.


All  Artists-in-Residence will be awarded
The Denis Diderot A-i-R Grant
upon acceptance to the program, the grant will be applied towards partial cost of  the residency.  You can read more about this here on their website.


Each resident has a private bedroom, private art studio, and meals provided.  Artist-in-residence programs and other residency opportunities exist to invite artists, academicians, curators, and all manner of creative people for a time and space away from their usual environment and obligations. They provide a time of reflection, research, presentation and/or production. They also allow an individual to explore his/her practice within another community; meeting new people, using new materials, experiencing life in a new location. Art residencies emphasize the importance of meaningful and multi-layered cultural exchange and immersion into another culture.


I’ll have art for sale over the next year at the studio in Perry, online through my Instagram, by taking on commission pieces, and in Macon at The Web to help support this month long experience, please follow along on this adventure at @caraheardart on Instagram.
