A Celebration of Creativity and Connection

The Creative Gathering

What a wonderful month of creativity, friendship, and inspiration! September marked another year of The Creative Gathering, and together we created and shared 511 incredible works of art. What a great way to celebrate 6 years of gathering, creating, and connecting!

Once again, our talented artists brought an amazing variety of styles, mediums, ideas, and perspectives to the gathering. From beautiful paintings & drawings to photography, mixed media, assemblage, and imaginative experiments like puppetry. Every contribution reflected a unique creative voice. What a joy it has been to see everyone’s work!

To every artist who participated, congratulations! Whether you created something every day or joined us when you were able, your contributions mattered. Every piece symbolizes time, imagination, and a willingness to explore and share your creative vision. We can all take pride in what we’ve accomplished together!

Celebrating Art, Friendship, and Connection

One of the best things about The Creative Gathering is how we encourage one another. We exchange ideas & celebrate each other’s accomplishments. We may live in different corners of the world, but our shared love of creativity brings us together. The friendships and connections we’ve made are every bit as special as the art itself.

Our Gallery Video is a celebration of all of us. It’s a chance to look back, revisit favorite pieces, and appreciate the incredible talent and individuality within our creative community.

To those who weren’t able to join us this time, you were truly missed! We hope to see you when we gather again in February 2027.

Thank you all for sharing your talents, your enthusiasm, and your friendship. You make The Creative Gathering something truly special. I’m so grateful to be part of this creative journey with you.

Congratulations, everyone!

Wishing you JOY
& boundless creative energy!


Group Gallery, The Creative Gathering

Welcome to October! We just finished another month of creative challenges together. This marks the completion of our seventh year as a group. Thanks to our curiosity and perseverance, we created 368 amazing pieces of art. Great job, everyone!

The group gallery video runs just over four minutes.
You can pause, adjust the volume, and expand it to full screen if you’d like.

FEBRUARY 2024

For the artists: I have copies of all of the images. They have been cropped, & brightened as needed. Many of the collages have been realigned. If you would like a copy of your slides, message me in the group, and I will happily send them to you. 🙂

30-Day Creative Gathering Group Gallery February 2024

Grab a cup, and enjoy the gallery!

I love to share a glimpse at the fabulous works created by our group. There are two pieces from each artist. You will also see a collage of all the work they created during the month. I usually do not include myself in the group gallery, but as it is only a video that will be posted to our group Pinterest board, I added myself at the end. It will repeat, if you miss some. There were 659 pieces of artwork created in the group

These are low resolution images, so there may be some slight pixelation or blur. But that serves to protect the works from being copied. There are several artists who participated, but were not able to get their artwork to me in time.

Congratulations!
You did it.
With style, grace, & generosity to others.

I’m so grateful to share this time with you!

Wishing you JOY & fearless creating!
