by pearlgirl
BroadArts Theatre , Portland's award-wining, progressive musical theater company is creating Portland's future and they need your help... What?

Tired of the kids having all the fun? For all you "creatives" out there (and the term is used broadly, folks) on July 26, 10 am - 3 pm, the Portland creative community will be hosting cre8camp at souk . It's all part of the re-launch of the Creative Conference on September 6th. Description follows:
"Welcome to the un-conference. Forget top-down topics and passive listening. At cre8camp, we start with a blank schedule, some breakout rooms and time. You, the participants, decide what the topics are, and then get to it!
Each attendee creates, leads and participates in the discussions. Nothing creative is off limits. Are you with us?"
