Smaller Indiana

Making people and ideas findable

Jennifer  Padgett

Where do you go to jump start you creativity and get out of a rut?

I do graphic and web design, but day in day out I just some days I feel I have the need to hang with more creatives, go to book stores and look a print mags of just surf the web. Not only to get out of a slump but to motivate me and keep me updated. Anyone got any great ideas or would you like to share what you do when you are in a slump?

I know there are more of you out there with great ideas can you help a girl out?

I feel a surprising boost in creativity when I visit museums that help me look at the world through new lenses. I haven't been to many locally yet, but I had a great time at the Field Museum in Chicago last weekend. The Minneapolis Institute of Art was always inspiring, too. Even the Children's Museum can unleash some creativity in adults!

I agree. This is a great way to get a creativity jolt. I also find going to small galleries (First Friday) inspiring as well.

Going to the SI meetups is a great way to put you in the midst of like-minded people who will give yo ideas on where to go, what to do and how to reach beyond the limit of the sky!
