0 Creativity for all! New Creation Road blog feature
Here at Creation Road one of the things we’re interested in what’s happening creatively in communities around the world.
It’s wonderful when people can come together as part a community to create something, have a good time and meet new friends in the process.
Over the coming weeks we will be on the look out for community events, activities, ideas, and so on, which get people involved in creativity, artwork, performances etc. within their community.
Remember to come back and see what fantastic things we discover.
If you know of something creative happening in your community, please feel to let us know about it. We’d love to hear from you. Email: community@creationroadblog.com

Sarasota Chalk Festival
Here at Creation Road we are always interested in what is happening creatively in communities right around the world. So when we heard about the Sarasota Chalk Festival in Florida, USA, we had to find out more.
The week-long festival will run from 1 November to 7 November 2011 and will feature performance art by over 250 of the most renowned artists who use chalk as their medium and pavement as their canvas, turning streets into a museum in motion.
The festival is free to the public and expected to draw over 100,000 spectators to the picturesque Gulf Coast community located just south of Tampa Bay.
You can find out more by visiting Sarasota Chalk Festival website.
Creation Road featured the work of street artist Edgar Müller in July 2011 as part of its regular Artwork of the Week feature on Facebook. You can see Edgar’s chalk creations by clicking here.
If you have a creative event coming up in your community let us know about it by writing to community@creationroadblog.com.

To kick off MyStory, I will start by sharing my experience of the Honolulu Academy of Arts.
Honolulu Academy of Arts - Click image to visit website
Earlier in 2011, I was fortunate enough to be able to visit the 3.2 acre Honolulu Academy of Art when Creation Road visited the Hawaiian island of Oahu. The Honolulu Academy of Arts is certainly a must see for those visiting to or living on Oahu. The academy has a large collection artworks from around the world including Asian, American, European, African, Oceania, and the Hawaiian art collection, which chronicles the history of art in Hawaii.
I took a short and pleasant bus ride from Waikiki to the Honolulu Academy of Arts and shortly after arriving was enjoying a wonderful guided tour from one of the friendly and knowledgeable volunteers. The tour began with the amazing story of Anna Rice Cooke – the founder of the Academy. In her dedication statement at the opening of the museum on April 8, 1927 Anna said:
“That our children of many nationalities and races, born far from the centres of art, may receive an intimation of their own cultural legacy and wake to the ideals embodied in the arts of their neighbours … that Hawaiians, Americans, Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Filipinos, Northern Europeans and all other people living here, contacting through the channel of art those deep intuitions common to all, may perceive a foundation on which a new culture, enriched by the old strains may be built in the islands.”
This is certainly an art museum which can be enjoyed by those from all walks of life.
As well as a large collection of artwork the Honolulu Academy of Arts features The Doris Duke Theatre at the Academy which hosts meetings, concerts, lectures, and presentations. The theatre is also home to Hawaii’s GLBT film festival the Rainbow Film Festival. Arts education and restoration are also facets of the Academy.
You can also browse in the Academy Shop or eat at the Pavilion Cafe.
One could easily spend a day just admiring the collection the Honolulu Academy of Arts has on show and a visit is highly recommended.
