Hey all-
I embarked on creating a space where people could learn and create together, collaborate and have fun.
We have had people come and do just that but not enough to keep it going in our space at 4 Mills road.
So we will be moving out of that space and recalibrating for the month of March and hope to find a smaller venue just for classes ( 350-400square ft).
But I am still available to come to your work place or home for private art parties so let me know if that excites you.
May we all keep creating together!
And if you are looking for a great retail space with amazing landlords i can connect you.

We will be closed today and tomorrow and be open for walk in hours on Saturday 10-2.

OPEN CALL FOR CREATORS!!!
Want an opportunity to showcase your art for the community and beyond? Now is the time! The Creative Playground, in collaboration with Lincoln Theater, is excited to announce an open call for creators to participate in Lincoln County’s first PechaKucha presentation event! Artists, musicians, performers, writers, and creative organizations are invited to apply for this unique opportunity to share their work and vision with the community in a fast-paced, dynamic format.

PechaKucha is an evening of storytelling and creativity. Each presenter showcases 20 slides on the big screen for 20 seconds each, creating a concise and visually engaging presentation that lasts just 6 minutes and 40 seconds. This format, becoming increasingly popular throughout the United States, is ideal for showcasing creativity, sharing inspiration, and connecting with like-minded individuals.
This first PechaKucha event being presented by The Creative Playground and The Lincoln Theater will focus on the theme “Emerging.” The organizations are looking for emerging artists and new creative organizations and collaborations to showcase at this live event taking place Sunday, April 13 at 6:30 PM.
Submissions are open to creators of all disciplines, including but not limited to visual artists, musicians, writers, performers, and representatives of creative organizations. To apply, please email Andrea at [email protected] with the subject line "PechaKucha Submission."
Please include your name and contact information, a brief bio (150 words or less), a description of your proposed presentation (250 words or less), and up to 3 images, links, or media samples showcasing your work (if applicable). Submissions must be received by Friday February 14th. Selected presenters will be notified by Friday February 21 and will receive guidance on preparing their PechaKucha slides.

This collaboration between The Creative Playground and Lincoln Theater is a perfect opportunity to bring creators together, celebrating diverse talents and stories in an innovative way. Don’t miss your chance to inspire and be inspired! Come and share your voice and connect with our creative community.

The Creative Playground offers multimedia classes, collaborative art spaces, and coaching to help individuals connect with their creative spirit. With a mission to inspire exploration, play, and creation, The Creative Playground fosters a supportive environment for creativity to flourish.
The Lincoln Theater, located at 2 Theater Street in Damariscotta, is a cultural hub dedicated to presenting diverse high-quality programs that provide entertaining, artistic, educational and social experiences that enrich our community.

Over the last few weeks I have been reflecting on what has been working at The Creative Playground, what needs tweaking and what is missing and I want to bring to the community.
The Collaborative Hub for 2025 is switching it up!
Its a membership where you can come in during our open classroom/ studio hours - Thursdays 10-3, Friday 3-6 and Saturday 1-3.
🎨You can bring your own projects and work in community (this is a great way to get inspiration!)
Or, come in an explore with the mediums we have in the community supply shelves (acrylics, watercolors, oil and soft pastels, charcoal, alcohol ink, acrylic inks, gelli print mats and Styrofoam sheets for mono printing are just some of what we have.)
💥We will also have twice monthly Collaborative Gatherings- every other Tuesday 6-8 where you can share a project, get feedback on a piece of work or just come and support and play with other members.
PLUS as a member you will have 4 opportunities a year to submit a few pieces of your work to be considered for our seasonal art shows.
The more you come into the open studio times the more bang you get for your buck and this allows us to have consistent monthly revenue.
It is $55 per month for adults 22-64 and $30 per month for students 13-21and seniors 65 and older.
