Who Is This For?
Wild Creative meetups are for anyone who feels inspired by creativity and nature—no matter your background or experience. You don’t need to work in a creative field or consider yourself an artist to belong here. These gatherings are a space to explore new creative mediums, disconnect from the 9-to-5 routine, and connect with people who are genuinely passionate about art, wild places, and our public lands. Whether you’re a seasoned photographer, a weekend doodler, or someone who’s never picked up a camera, pen, or paintbrush, you are welcome. Wild Creative meetups are a safe haven for curiosity and connection, a place for exploration, learning, and authentic expression—especially for those who feel a deep love for our natural lands and national parks.
