AC Groups

One of the key things that I’ve “harped on” as often as possible is the importance of having a community - a small group of people - with which to process, co-create, dream and share insights.

 

My intent with AC has always been to create a virtual community of like-minded creatives who are striving to engage, grow and learn. This can’t happen in isolation. It takes a village to raise an artist. (Ooh…that was bad.)

 

I’m excited to announce that we’ll soon be launching “AC Groups.” These groups will be organic networks of ACers in various cities across the globe.

 

A few things:

1. We need hosts. In order to host you need to be able to (a) communicate via email with others in the group, (b) choose a public location for the group meeting and (c) do some low-key facilitation of conversations.

 

2. These are not an “official” AC effort. It’s kind of an experiment. We’re providing the forum for connecting, but each group can do as it pleases in terms of content. We’ll offer recommendations each month, but these are not mandatory curriculum.

 

3. This will become more of an emphasis moving forward. It’s important that we be connecting with other like-minded people if we want to continue to grow.

 

So…are you interested in hosting? (We already have groups forming in LA, St. Louis and Denver.) If so, let us know in the comments or send an e-mail to interact [at] accidentalcreative.com .

We’ll be posting AC Groups locations, contact info and more in the next several weeks. We’re… so… excited… we… can… hardly… stand… it.
