CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Blog Posts about Bridging the Gap

As a part of our 2022 Campaign: Building Creative Futures, we’ll be seeking blog posts from you about a new topic each quarter. Our first topic was “navigating.” Up next is “bridging” here’s the prompt:

What connections can we make between ourselves & others; our work & others' work; and our sectors & other sectors?

This could mean “how do we all benefit if I share my experience as a creative, honestly?” or “how are we supporting each other, as members of our creative communities?” or "how does sharing my strategies for incorporating themes of social justice into arts & cultural education provide a roadmap for educators in other areas?” or some other option we haven’t even considered!

We want to know what’s happening in your sphere, whether that’s direct in- or out-of- school arts education, administration, advocacy, field-wide services, or your personal art practice.
You should feel free to do any and all of the following:

  • Interpret academic writing

  • Share trends you observe in your work

  • Articulate your opinion

  • Amplify the voices of young creatives

  • Elevate projects and people

  • Document promising practices to support innovation in the field

The post should be:

  • Be approximately, 500-750 words, though we can accommodate more or less, if the topic requires

  • Use headers to break up different sections

  • Embed links to references, whenever possible

  • Send us photos to include!

You can submit using the form below, or email bridget@creative-generation.org with your full name and the text of your post, including a title. We can’t wait to hear from you!
