When I started Event Lucky, I was running a not-for-profit organization, surrounded by actors practicing their craft. I needed a creative outlet, and since stage management/event planning is my contribution to the artistic process, I thought I could share some insights while having a space to express myself. Over the four years I’ve produced this blog it has evolved and changed with my inspiration and interests and it’s still one of my favorite activities. It’s a part of me.

But right now I’m not as excited about events as much as I once was. I still love them and all of the creativity, not only in decor but in problem solving, coordinating and connecting with guests {my strengths}, but right now I am excited about something else.

Although I have a degree in theatre, it wasn’t until I moved to New York City that I got involved in arts education {as my day job}. I loved the organization that I was working with {then running} and I became incredibly passionate about the cause, working in the industry in Washington, DC and Hong Kong. I learned so much — about engagement, education and evaluation, and different kinds of arts education models– that I want to share those experiences. The Event Lucky blog has been such a wonderful outlet for me and I think this arts education blog can be, too.

I launched my second blog, Plan Creatively, just this weekend. In addition to arts education, I’ll also be talking about my own art adventures and explorations, which often inspires my events and color combinations, so I’m sure there will be some cross over.

And don’t worry— I’ll still be producing Event Lucky, although probably not as often {I say that, but it’s hard to stay away!}. There will be some slight changes, small shifts as this space evolves, but I hope it will continue to be a space for event inspiration, ideas, tips and trends.

Wish me luck! And come check out Plan Creatively!
