6 Degrees of Creativity 2014 - Giveaway!

If this is the first time you are hearing about 6 Degrees of Creativity you will be so glad you stopped by! Gretchen Miller has developed an amazing collection of 6 online workshops for you to dive into at your own pace. In her words, "6 Degrees of Creativity unites concepts of social networking, connecting, collaboration, art-making, and creativity into an engaged global community of artists exploring transformation and using art for good". I can attest to the connection and collaboration this leads to - I was lucky enough to have been instructor for 6 Degrees of Creativity in 2012 - I am grateful to have met so many great artists and art therapists from around the world and happy to be able to continue networking and collaborating online.

The workshops will be open from March 2014 to December 2014 and costs only $49 (US) for the whole thing - the workshops will be filled with techniques and inspiration for collage, collaborations and challenges, self-care and more! 

Gretchen Miller is a registered and board certified art therapist working in Cleveland Ohio. She is also the founder of the Art Therapy Alliance and has an active blog, Creativity in Motion. You should also follow her on Instagram for inspiring posts of her daily art projects and beautiful pictures of sunshine peeking through everywhere. I first met Gretchen in 2010 when she organized a speaker presentation through the Buckeye Art Therapy Association. A few of us art therapists from the Michigan Association of Art Therapy carpooled to Cleveland for the event. Gretchen was friendly and welcoming and the event was well worth the drive. Gretchen does a wonderful job of building community and I am really looking forward to this years 6 Degrees of Creativity workshops!

So, the giveaway part... leave a comment on this post telling me why you would like to win the free spot in 6 Degrees of Creativity 2014. I will randomly choose a winner on Friday February 14th.

  1. Hey Kelly, I have been interested in participating in these groups, but haven't yet signed up. So I would be delighted to win an opportunity to participate in the 6 Degrees of Creativity Workshop this year. I find I work better with a bit of structure (read: deadlines). That's why I'd like to win the drawing. I've been wanting to participate & structure helps me. The third thing is that cancer is spreading and I am in chemotherapy for the third time since surgery & diagnosis 26 months ago. Having art before me is a healthy distraction.

    1. Hi Susan - I also work better with structure and deadlines. I try to create my own, but it doesn't always work... I'm so sorry to hear about the cancer spreading - I'm praying for a full recovery for you. I hope you are finding some time for art for yourself :)

  3. I would love the opportunity to win a spot in the 6 Degrees of Creativity workshop. I have my own blog and enjoy blogging about my artistic journey. I think it would be fun (and, hopefully, beneficial to my readers) to follow my progress in working through just such a workshop. Thanks for the chance to win.
