The Painting Experience recommends this talk by Elizabeth Gilbert on why artistry does not have to equal anguish -- and on the truth of her own creative life during and after Eat, Pray, Love.

Elizabeth Gilbert on nurturing creativity | Video on TED.com
Source: www.ted.com
TED Talks Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses -- and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person "being" a genius, all of us "have" a genius. It's a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk.

Thanks for your comment, Loel Ann. You voice a concern shared by many in this difficult economy. We try to make our programs available to anyone who has a sincere desire to participate by offering scholarships. Unfortunately, we aren... Read More’t able to offer reduced rates at Omega, but we have many other East Coast workshops coming up, including Boston in September (http://www.processarts.com/pages/programs/workshop/newton.html) and New York City in November (details coming to our website soon). If you’d like to learn more about scholarships, please visit us at http://processarts.com/pages/friends/schlr_app.html.

We hope to see you sometime soon!
