Creative Arts and Music Club is a club in which group members encourage and support one another in creative endeavors. We host writers' workshops, discussions about creative goal-setting, and open mic opportunities every 1-2 months for students to practice their craft with a smaller, supportive audience. In this way, members will feel prepared and empowered to continually create, push themselves out of their comfort zone, and perhaps share their work with larger audiences. Our members include musicians, writers, poets, artists, speakers, actors, other creatives, and those who would like to pursue the creative arts.
