Creativity can look like many things: picking up a paintbrush for the first time, finding new ways to solve old problems, or simply giving yourself permission to wonder, experiment, and play. Creativity doesn’ t need to be about mastery or productivity; it is also a way to explore curiosity, expression, and connection.
In this section, you’ ll discover how creativity is like a muscle that grows stronger with use, why making art can be as good for your health as it is for your spirit, and how access to funding and programs can help open creative doors later in life. You’ ll also find some tips that might help you start( or finish) your next creative endeavour. Creativity isn’ t something reserved for the most talented among us, it’ s something that we’ re all capable of doing. All it takes is a little bit of imagination.
