Introducing Summertime Sparks

Hi all, I’m Eloisa!

I’m the summer intern for The CCC Project, and I’d like to share some exciting news with you. On Saturday, June 29th, we’re beginning our Summertime Sparks series. Here’s how it works.

Each Saturday morning, I’ll send out a creative prompt for you to engage with in your favorite medium—whether that’s writing, photography, visual art, or video. You’ll have until the following Thursday to work on your response, and when your piece feels ready, you can submit it to us. We’ll feature select submissions in our next newsletter, and publish them in our Summertime Sparks anthology at the end of the summer!

As a writer and artist myself, I know that finding inspiration can be challenging, and creative blocks are super common. If you find yourself feeling stuck, don’t worry. We’ll give you access to creative exercises and resources to get you moving again. With some prompts, we'll even provide excerpts of writing and imagery made by one of our very own members of the Creative Youth Collective.

Kathryn and I are so excited for next week’s kick-off of our Summertime Sparks series! We can’t wait to see how your unique creative voice shines each week. 

Please share this newsletter with friends and all creative t(w)eens who’d like to make the most of their creativity this summer. Encourage them to sign up for our newsletter if they haven’t already!

See you all next Saturday, 

Eloisa Lin
