Living is a creative act
Creativity is the process of putting imagination to action. Our imaginations have been shaped by the beliefs we inherit and the world we live in, which impacts what we feel is possible and the choices we make. This is why context matters.
Creativity in Context offers writing and programming on the creative process of living. Learn how you can create more possibility.
Mission
Creativity in Context envisions a world where
everyone has creative agency:
an embodied belief in one’s ability to creatively respond to challenges
By advocating for an expansive understanding of living as a creative process, we recognize how systemic and social contexts limit our potential to shape the future. Through public scholarship and facilitated learning, we aim to activate individuals’ and organizations’ capacity to tap into their creative power and manifest change.

“Thank you to Evelyn for leading such a meaningful workshop for staff. I know that I will be referencing what I learned for years to come.”

“I have always been very doubtful of myself, of my abilities….This mentality I had always held me back from reaching my full potential. Through Evelyn’s guidance, I lost my fear that my personality isn’t creative enough because I learned that creativity isn’t a trait, it’s more like a muscle….I now have a creative direction that I can work towards and try to improve everyday.”
