Still Reeling From Holidays?

Still Reeling From the Holidays? Time to Plan and Brainstorm your Art Year!

Are you still reeling from all the holiday goings-on? Maybe you’re waiting for children and partners to return to school and work so you can get back into your groove and really plan for the new year. And to kick your creativity into drive. 

If this is you, I want to say, hang in there. There’s plenty of time and opportunity to do what you want in 2020. You can still have an amazing creative year, filled with all the things you want, even if it takes a little longer to decide what those things are.

I feel like the holidays are tricky because my mind thinks “I’ve got all this time off” but in reality, I’m working a lot on all the holiday stuff like dinners, cards, shopping, wrapping, dealing with family dynamics, etc. 

For me, now that everyone’s schedules are getting back to the usual, I’m going to look at my work and map out what I’d like to do this year with it. 

  • What shows have I committed to? 

  • What kind of art would I like to make? 

  • What worked last year and what didn’t? 

  • How do I want to feel about my creative practice this year? 

You might be asking yourself similar questions. I’d love to know, what’s the first thing you plan to do to get back into your creative work now that the holidays are over? Assess? Plan? Dive into making? Or something else? Let me know in the comments. 

In fact, I hosted a Facebook Live session to talk about these things. Watch the replay here to think about your own planning and how you can lean into what we want from your creative work.  

What it is:

  • Free

  • A conversation to get you thinking about what you want over the next year and how to get there

  • A way to get thinking about your creative career that excites you!

  • A chance to get your questions answered during the live Q&A.

What it isn’t:

  • A giant commitment to do a ton of work

Let me know how you’re approaching your creative plans in the comments. Are they flexible?

Cheers,

Kate
