How I Use CreativeGround
- Rachel Sargent Mirus
“I found out about CreativeGround through the Vermont Arts Council. It's hard to spread the word about what you have to offer as an artist, but this site gives people a one-stop spot to search for any artistic talent they might want. I also like the idea of an online arts community where artists and makers can help each other. For example, I have projects in mind that I don't have the skills to do entirely myself, but I can use the directory to find possible collaborators. And now other artists can find me if they're looking for a collaborator, too!”
– Rachel Sargent Mirus, Nature Illustrator & Teaching Artist - Jeff Kasper
“CreativeGround has been a generative space to connect with folks throughout the arts ecosystem about the varied creative services I offer as an artist and educator. This has led to some positive experiences and opportunities to present my work.”
– Jeff Kasper, Artist, Educator, Designer, Writer - Queerlective
“Queerlective leverages CreativeGround as a pivotal platform for mapping our vibrant community and showcasing the diverse talents within the queer and BIPOC artist communities of New Hampshire. It has been helpful in articulating our work's impact within the community and connecting with potential collaborators to further our mission of empowerment and inclusivity.”
