About this community

JOIN the Creative Endeavors community
Creative thinking and activity welcome

Artists, writers, musicians, scrapbookers, photographers, videographers, people with funny hair and those who appreciate these people.

You don’t need to be professional or a critic, just someone who enjoys the creative side of life.

what is art?

Pablo Picasso said, ” Art is a lie that makes us realize truth.” Auguste Rodin said, “Art is contemplation. It is the pleasure of the mind which searches into nature and which there divines the spirit of which Nature herself is animated.” And Frank Zappa said, ” Art is making something out of nothing and selling it.”

We think the truth is somewhere in there somewhere. Share your thoughts with us.
