Education

Arts Education: an initiative of Noblesville Creates

The creative economy is vital in Hamilton County. With three state-designated arts districts, a vast public art inventory, free concerts most nights in the summers, great food options – the arts community is rapidly growing and changing. To help support the artists in their efforts, Noblesville Creates has coordinated with local organizations to offer professional development at low or no cost to the artists.

The daVinci Innovation Workshops

Postponed - Date TBD | Hamilton County Tourism, Carmel

The daVinci Innovation Workshops will partner with Noblesville Creates to provide participants with the skills needed to envision solutions and to begin a prototype process. These skills precede the use of “maker” spaces and product design by helping participants through the design process of understanding, observing, synthesizing, ideation, prototyping, and implementation planning. The goal is to take an adaptive and flexible approach to project design wherein participants can realize their own ideas within the cultural contexts in which they live. The workshops are designed to accommodate local interests and priorities through community engagement in real-world problems and solutions. The aim is to excite these individuals to identify their own areas of creative activity while developing their own ideas in cooperation with people from their own community. We hope to reframe the discussion of creativity as being supportive of those who want to have their ideas boosted within the local community that can serve as models for other communities and individuals throughout the region.
