Creative Xpressions began in 2012. The founder of the group, Paul Dane, saw a need for a mutually supportive group because being a creative can be a lonely experience. The aims of the group are to bring together artists and creatives from a wide range of disciplines, to share skills, interact socially and motivate each other.
Members of the group have included writers, musicians, sculptors, visual artists, carpenters, film makers and photographers. People have been supported to take their first steps from a pile of pictures at home, to take part in local exhibitions. The group fosters self-belief, promotes artistic identity and supports the journey of each creative in achieving their aspirations. Through the sharing of skills, support and feedback work is developed to a professional standard.
Workshops have enabled members to share skills and broaden their styles. Some creatives with strong skills learn to relax their style and add more emotion. Those with emotion learn to improve their technical skills. The group acts as a spring board, builds confidence, is non-judgemental and encourages participation in local exhibitions, of which there have been several leading onto solo exhibitions and new direction for some.
In addition to developing the work of each creative there is a strong social side to the group developed from like-minded souls. The “Art Jams” the group holds are like home grown weekend festivals involving camping, BBQs , sleeping under the stars, painting, music, dance, improvisation and photography. In every sense it is a cohesive and growing group of creatives.
Please come along and share the celebration of their work. If you too are a creative soul looking for like-minded people why not join the group?
