CREATE offers San Diego artists and creatives an innovative, immersive capacity-building approach that honors your creative process
Many talented artists struggle to translate their creative skills into organizational success. Traditional capacity building often feels disconnected from creative practice, using language and frameworks that don't resonate with artistic mindsets.
The CREATE Series bridges this gap, teaching essential organizational skills through creative, experiential learning, discussions, and team-building that feels natural to artists.
Our hands-on workshops transform abstract organizational principles into tangible experiences through role-playing, collaborative problem-solving, and real-world applications designed specifically for creative minds.
