Welcome to post #2 of a four-part series on finding inspiration. To catch the beginning click here. 

"I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things."

- Mother Teresa

Opening yourself up to collaboration will unlock boundless creativity. It is a fundamental purpose of our existence to connect with one another and to build relationships- this is the only way life itself can progress. By engaging with others through art specifically, integration is more easily felt. 

"Art is our one true global language. It knows no nation, it favors no race, and acknowledges no class. It speaks to our need to reveal, heal, and transform. It transcends our ordinary lives and lets us imagine what is possible."

- Richard Kamler

Creativity at its core is about finding your place in this vast world and recognizing that you have something unique to offer. Likewise, there is always something to be gained from listening to the perspectives of others. Collaboration as a tool for encouraging inspiration is a wonderful way to access an ebb and flow of free-thinking and idea exchange.
Look for local artist or creative groups to join.
Pioneer an event for people interested in creativity to be a part of.
Think about where these people may gather- go there!
By seeking out others you will spark a boundless supply of new ideas and refine your existing concepts. It may feel intimidating at first to share your artistic soul to the world, but if you take a leap of faith and break open, you will find a whole new world of support and empowerment.
