                             Creative 360’s Mission
                      To create environments that allow people of all ages and
                abilities to experience the creative process, and to enhance
                physical, mental and spiritual wellness through the arts and
                humanities.

              Core Values
Inclusiveness – No matter your age, gender, race, beliefs, skills or life
circumstances, you are welcome at Creative 360 and are free to be yourself.
Creativity – We believe that imagination and free expression are essential to any
person’s life. We see creativity not as a finished product, but a journey of discovery,
so we provide a non-judgmental atmosphere where all work is
treasured.
Respect – We respect not only people, but also ideas. We are open
to new and non-traditional programming. We believe in the power of
 saying “yes.”
Community – We believe that unity and compassion are components
of a strong society. We work to bring people together.

Activities at Creative 360 are supported in part by the Michigan Arts & Culture Council; a partner
agency of the National Endowment for the Arts, Midland Area Community Foundation, and The

                                Featuring Katie Truemner Bruessow & Mitchell Truemner
                                       We are delighted to feature the large-scale paintings of this
                                       exceptionally talented family in our Bayliss gallery.
                                        Katie Truemner Bruessow attended Kendall College of Art and
                                        Design with a BFA in Illustration and a focus on Furniture Design.
                                      After graduating Katie worked in the mass production market in both
                                   home furnishings and painting, selling to companies like Ashley Furniture
                                and Jeffrey Alans. Painting has always been the core of Katie’s creative
                              work. Her creative process is set free by her loose style which is often
                              reflected in her favorite subject matter - nature.
                              Mitchell Truemner attended Delta College with an art concentration in the late
                              70s. He has been the featured artist in Traverse City’s Michigan Artist Gallery
                              and the Traverse City’s Opera House. Truemner’s abstract paintings evoke a
                              sense of spirituality. He is greatly influenced by the wooded areas of northern

                               Sponsored by Cheryl and Larry Levy
                              “When I began to listen to poetry, it’s when I began to listen to the stones, and I began to listen
                              to what the clouds had to say, and I began to listen to others. And I think, most importantly for all
                              of us, then you begin to learn to listen to the soul, the soul of yourself in here, which is also the
soul of everyone else.” – Joy Harjo
Join your neighbors of different ages, experiences, and backgrounds in a celebration of poetry’s place in our
lives and culture. This spoken word program features community members sharing the poetry – either written
by themselves or others – that is meaningful to them. If you would like to read, please contact Larry Levy

                                        The Life of Riley!
                                        Riley was famous for cheerfully
                                        disrupting life with his malapropisms
                                        and ill-timed intervention into minor
                                        problems. His stock answer to every
                                        turn of fate became a catch phrase:
                                        'What a revoltin' development this is!"

Tuesday, January 10 - Henri Matisse 3D Creative Collage
Matisse began as a painter, but fell in love with the art of cut-
outs later in life after an illness affected his mobility and made
fine motor skills more difficult. We will create a modern, funky
floral sculpture inspired by his work.
Thursday, February 16 - Carol Rossetti Comic Portraits
Rossetti is a current Brazilian artist known for her “Women
Project,” a series of illustrations featuring comic style portraits
of real people sharing their insecurities or times they felt
judged. She pairs these stories with positive affirmations.
Learn to illustrate simplified comic-style people in ink and watercolor and practice fun lettering styles. We will
then create positive affirmations, Rossetti style!
                                     Thursday, March 16 - Paint Your Pet Like Louis Wain
                                     Louis Wain began drawing his whimsical cats to entertain his wife, but his
                                     illustrations took off and were used in many ads and magazines in the
                                     early 1900s. As time went on, his cats would change to reflect his
                                     thoughts and feelings. We will paint our own pets on 11x14 canvas using
                                     traditional brush painting and paint markers. Invent your own whimsical
                                     animal, or send a photo of your pet to artshop@becreative360.org by
                                     March 13th to have it printed and transferred to canvas. Art can be an
                                     important tool for communication when we can’t explain how we feel with
words.
Tuesday, April 11 – Jean-Michel Basquiat
Basquiat was a graffiti artist and painter working in the 70s and 80s who used an
abstract, primitive style that stripped visuals down to their essential meaning. He
had a difficult childhood, and went from homeless teen to selling paintings for
thousands of dollars in a couple of years. He used symbols to tell his story and
discuss difficult issues. Using acrylics and paint markers we will, like a graffiti
artist, learn to work in layers as we choose shapes, symbols, and words to tell
our story on an 11x14 canvas. In another nod to street art and the idea of artists adding to, and layering over,
each other’s work, we will also make our mark on a collaborative canvas that will be displayed in the
community. This workshop is a perfect guided intro to abstract art.

                      Beginning Acrylic Painting
                      If you’re just starting out or have some experience with acrylics, this series will provide a

                      and adding mediums to explore the versatility of this medium. With Cynthia Keefe, MFA,
                      and Creative 360 Co-Founder. A materials list will be provided. Please preregister.

practice uniting body, mind, and breath. Designed as a moving meditation, every Vinyasa class is unique,

Restorative Yoga
Held @ Creative 360 Galleries 144 E. Ashman
Gentle, supportive, and therapeutic are just a few words that describe restorative yoga. At its core, restorative
yoga is a practice of passive healing - and you are oh so worthy to receive, to rest, to be.
In this practice you are invited to use a variety of props to fully support the body in shapes that move the
spine in all directions and may include heart openers, twists, forward bends, hip openers, inversions with
a focus on ease, and optional breath awareness. This is an opportunity to draw senses and attention inward
to replenish your well with presence and to invite/activate the more restful (parasympathetic) part of the
nervous system to restore our relationship with our birthright of comfort, support, and ease.

body, mind, and spirit, awakening JOY in your heart. Open to all levels, opportunities to take postures up or
down a notch will be seamlessly woven with instruction allowing each student to move with intention at a
pace that serves their present moment experience. This class blends the asana practices of hatha, yin, and
vinyasa. All are always welcome & more than worthy.
