Dynamic Community Art
for All Ages + Abilities
Creative Pathways began as an experiment in Beth Bailey’s personal sketchbooks and has grown into a thriving community art project. Since 2023, over 300 participants—from community centers to professional artist studios and the Boston Children’s Museum—have explored their creativity through this initiative.
A Unique Cycle of Work
“At the heart of my work is a simple cycle,” Beth shares. Shared sketchbooks travel through studios, offices, libraries, and public spaces, collecting ideas and inspirations along the way. These pages transform into collages, becoming vibrant greeting cards that participants create and cherish as keepsakes of their creative journey.
A Community-Driven Vision
Creative Pathways connects people, art, and communities. Every program inspires participants to discover and deepen their creativity while fostering connection and collaboration. By showcasing diverse perspectives, the project highlights creativity as both an individual and collective experience.
No New Ideas
Creative Pathways encourages revisiting and nurturing existing ideas rather than constantly seeking new ones. This philosophy fosters intentional and meaningful creativity, helping participants turn sparks of inspiration into glowing embers of artistic impact.
