Creativists in Dialogue is deeply grateful for support from individual grants to Producer Elizabeth Bruce from the DC COMMISSION ON THE ARTS & HUMANITIES & the CommunitY CULTURE & Heritage Program of HumanitiesDC!!

In this podcast we interview people from all walks of life about the role that creativity plays in shaping who they are. We explore creativity at both the practical level and at the process level.  We also, on occasion, delve into the philosophical dimensions of creativity that might have influenced a person’s life and work? 

Importantly, not all the people we interview are “artists”—though some are—but they all live their creativity every day in their fields of expertise, their relationships, and beyond. In other words, we approach creativity as a vital force to a healthy life. Not only does it change the world, but it changes who a person is and how they see themselves.
