Lawrence Creates Makerspace

Today was the last day of the CLEOS lab. We helped creative adolescents find their way along the invisible pathways to careers in the performing and fine arts, invention, writing, leadership, healing arts, and jobs that haven't been invented yet. Thousands of hours of counseling, tens of thousands of bits of data on their needs, and hundreds of counselors and psychologists trained to understand how to help people discover their creative potential. I'll spend the rest of my life publishing all that we learned about these magical young people. Thanks to all of my students, colleagues all over the world, friends, and family that supported my mad quest to make the world a safer place for imaginative kids.

As I watch the Grammy awards, I think about how many of these artists had somebody who believed in them and showed them the way to their goal. That's what we do at CLEOS for young creative people. Counseling and comprehensive personality assessment for creative people every Friday until May free, at KU. Sign up here:

If any of my old Makerspace friends know experienced riders who would like to volunteer at our Imagination Farm, we have great opportunities to ride and train! Not for new or rusty riders -- we hope to have programs for you soon!

New project in the works at StormDoor Productions.

Excited to share. Humanities Kansas has awarded a grant via Lawrence Creates for a short documentary now in pre-production.

Queen Bee: African American Women Stitching Freedom. This film and public screenings will feature the history of African American quilting styles and practices in Kansas, particularly the stories of well-known quilter Marla Arna Jackson and her contemporaries.

Thanks also to our colleagues at Spencer Museum of Art.
