Carol Rumba
Creative 360 was founded in 1994 by Cynthia Keefe and Linda Z. Smith who were Alden B. Dow Creativity Fellows at Northwood University. Their goal was an organization that provided "wellness through experience, expression, and expansion of the creative self".
Among the locations not often associated with Creative 360 is the John Pratt Mosaic House. Located in the woods just off the south side of M-20 a little ways East of Meridian Road, most people only see the house as a sparkle of light in the trees. John Pratt decorated the entire house with glass, mirrors, and other bright objects as a way to manage his mental illness. Creative 360 has owned the house for many years and works to preserve this unique piece of art.
The list of programs and events run by Creative 360 is diverse and impressive.
- Yes We can!, in its third year, recognizes and honors those 80 and over "in a way that respects their knowledge and taps into their legacy of creativity."
- ArtFest 55 celebrates the creativity of people 55 and older.
- ARTSHOP WORKSHOP guides you step-by-step as you paint a canvas of wispy dandelions blowing in the wind.
- GARDENING: Composting/Soil is one of several gardening offerings.
- Cocktails and Canvas caters to the adult tastes while Painting & Cardmaking with your Peanut welcomes parents and kids 2 to 4 years old.
- Ukulele Concert features Johnny Hunt presentint a wildly diverse group of songs.
