The Creative Collective Discussion Group (Virtual)

Tuesday, July 16

10:30 am - 12:00 pm

Registration Required Below Realize and enhance your creativity by joining the Creative Collective Discussion Group via Zoom. In this 8-week summer session, group discussions will begin with a focus on John Berger’s groundbreaking work “Ways of Seeing”.  Berger’s insightful critique of visual culture will serve as the basis for exploring the layers of meaning behind images, and their impact on our understanding of the world. We’ll continue with more curated videos exploring perception and art. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply curious about how we interpret visual information join us for engaging conversations that challenge, perspectives and ignite curiosity. The summer session will meet every Tuesday from July 9 through  August 27. We welcome new members interested in exploring the creative process. Facilitation of the group is shared by current group members.
