INSPIRING CREATIVITY- MARCH 3rd
The Smethport Creative Arts League will present Everday Creativity, a 22 minute video by National Geographic Photographer, Dewitt Jones, at 6:00 pm on March 3rd, 2009 at the Smethport High School in the Art Room.
According to Dewitt Jones’ Website, “This video prgram teaches a surprising truth about creativity: that its not a magical, mystical occurance, but a ready tool that enables you to look at the ordinary and see the extrordinary. Hosted by photojournalist Dewitt Jones, this best selling training program shares Dewitt’s inspirational stories, memorable locations, and stunning examples of his work. You’ll feel inspired and encouraged to apply his simple, yet powerful life techniques to your everyday challenges. Viewers will learn that creativity is not about being artistic, but about having the right attitude!” Come, join us for this viewing experience and discussion of the video led by John Wesley of Smethport.
The regular monthly meeting of the Smethport Creative Arts League will be held following the conclusion of the creativity program. The public is encouraged to attend the meeting.
