Creative Meditation

A Year of Art, Reflection & Community Connection

2027 Sponsorship & Community Partnerships

Presented by Just E Productions | Facilitated by Erin McGrath Rieke

Creating Space for Everyone

Creativity shouldn't depend on someone's income, artistic experience, or ability to purchase supplies.

Creative Meditation is a year-long community initiative designed to make creative expression accessible through free daily reflections and monthly in-person gatherings.

Combining original writing, music, and mixed-media art, the program offers opportunities to slow down, experiment, and reconnect with the simple pleasure of making something.

There are no artistic expectations. No prescribed results. No pressure to create something beautiful or explain what you've made.

The invitation is simply to participate.

Two Ways to Participate

365 Days of Creative Reflection

Throughout 2027, participants can access free daily reflections and creative invitations online. Each offers an opportunity to explore writing, drawing, painting, collage, or observation at an individual pace.

Participation is flexible. Individuals may engage privately, share their work, or simply reflect on the day's invitation.

12 Monthly Community Gatherings

Beginning in January 2027, Creative Meditation will offer free in-person gatherings at ArtFusion Gallery in St. Louis.

Each gathering incorporates music, creative prompts, and mixed-media exploration in a welcoming, noncompetitive setting.

  • 12 monthly gatherings

  • Up to 12 preregistered participants per session

  • All creative materials provided

  • No previous artistic experience required

  • Free participation

With 12 gatherings and 12 available places per session, the program can offer up to 144 annual session places, alongside unlimited opportunities to engage with the online reflections.

Why Community Sponsorship Matters

Even free programs require resources.

Art materials, preparation, facilitation, accessibility accommodations, outreach, and ongoing program development all contribute to creating a meaningful experience.

Community sponsorship helps remove financial barriers so that individuals can participate without worrying about the cost of materials or attendance.

It also helps sustain a creative environment where people of different backgrounds, experiences, and abilities can gather around something they share: curiosity.

Materials & In-Kind Partnerships | Flexible

Contributions of art materials and related resources are equally valuable.

  • Drawing paper, canvas, and sketchbooks

  • Brushes and creative tools

  • Collage materials

  • Printing and program supplies

Community Collaboration

Financial sponsorship is only one way to participate.

Nonprofit organizations, community groups, educators, and local businesses are invited to explore partnerships that expand access to creative experiences.

Collaborations may include community referrals, shared outreach, accessibility resources, material donations, and opportunities to introduce Creative Meditation to individuals who might otherwise have limited access to arts programming.

Help Make Creativity Accessible

A single gathering can offer someone a few uninterrupted hours to explore something new.

An entire year can create recurring opportunities for connection, expression, and community.

Your partnership helps make both possible.
