The 100 Day Project
A Creative Journey beginning in February
Based on a class that was originally offered at Yale University, the idea behind the Hundred Day Project is simple: choose a creative project, work on it every day for 100 days, and share your process daily with a small community of creators. Creators may be working towards completion of a larger project, like sewing a quilt or building a collection of songs, or they may be repeating the same activity every day, like taking a photograph or cooking with eggplant.
When creativity flows most freely, it can be like channeling ideas from beyond. But most of the time, creativity is about showing up and doing the work to coax an idea into existence. The Hundred Day Project provides a community and a structure for the creative process. Keeping at an idea for a hundred days helps artists and makers to develop a creative discipline and push through obstacles to creativity.
The Hundred Day Projects begins in February.
