SUMMARY:Making Anyway: A Conversation About Creativity\, Voice\, and What Gets in the Way
DESCRIPTION:Join playwright Renae Jarrett for an open conversation about creative life\, and what it feels like when it stops. \nOver the past few years\, Renae moved from writing dozens of plays a year to a complete standstill. In this conversation\, she’ll share honestly about how that happened\, how she has and hasn’t found her way through it\, and what she’s learned about the importance of making when there doesn’t feel to be a place for your voice. \nShe’ll share work from the writers who shaped her\, including Adrienne Kennedy\, Wallace Shawn\, and Caryl Churchill\, as a way into the conversation\, and invite participants to bring their own stories of creative blocks and how they did or didn’t work through them. \nThis conversation is part of Shadowcliff’s 2026 Still Point Sessions residencies\, bringing artists to the mountains for a week of creative work in Grand Lake.

SUMMARY:Valuing the Artist: External Validation\, Self-Worth\, and Creative Practice
DESCRIPTION:Join artist and creative consultant Nick Leavens for a conversation about one of the most persistent questions in any creative life: how do we decide what creative work is worth? \nDrawing from his own path across theater\, stone sculpture\, and filmmaking\, Leavens will explore how artists experience and internalize the value assigned to their work throughout their careers\, examining the relationship between external validation\, self-worth\, and creative practice. How does external recognition shape what we make? What happens to the creative self when the world’s valuation and our own sense of worth fall out of alignment? \nThese questions reach beyond the professional artist. Anyone who has made something\, or cares about someone who does\, will find a place for themselves in this conversation. \nThis conversation is part of Shadowcliff’s 2026 Still Point Sessions residencies\, bringing artists to the mountains for a week of creative work in Grand Lake.
