The Cre­ative In­de­pen­dent is a re­source of emo­tional and prac­ti­cal guid­ance for cre­ative peo­ple. Our goal is to ed­u­cate, in­spire, and grow the com­mu­nity of peo­ple who cre­ate or dream of cre­at­ing. Every­thing you read on The Cre­ative In­de­pen­dent will come from artists and cre­ators. This space is re­served for their per­spec­tive. The Cre­ative In­de­pen­dent is ad-free and backed by Kick­starter, PBC. Each week­day we will pub­lish one in­ter­view or es­say by an artist—in­clud­ing mu­si­cians, au­thors, film­mak­ers, dancers, de­sign­ers, and oth­ers.
