Challenge your creativity with Create 31

Challenge your creativity this winter with Create 31. Get creative for 31 minutes a day for 31 days this January with prompts on Create Waterloo’s social media.

During the cold and dark winter months, the City of Waterloo’s Arts and Culture team (Create Waterloo) is launching a creativity campaign for all skill levels on social media. At a time when we are all staying home as much as possible and limited on gathering, Create 31 aims to motivate and inspire around the home.

No skill required! Simply spend 31 minutes per day engaging in a prompt delivered by local artists, influencers, businesses, political representatives, and more. Create 31 will give you ways to stay creative and active during the lockdown.

“Exploring creativity is a great way to keep your mind and body active. We’re happy to work with incredible local artists, businesses, elected officials, and influencers to support the community with things to do and are looking forward to seeing people get involved,” says Mayor Dave Jaworsky. “I’ll be the first to deliver a prompt on January 1st and I am interested to see what kind of creativity will unfold.”

Starting January 1, 2021, prompts will be posted each day on Create Waterloo’s Instagram @create_waterloo. Get ready for the week’s creativity with posts each Sunday that show the upcoming exercises. Residents are encouraged to participate in the challenge and share their experience with the hashtag #create31. Visit create31.ca for more information on the challenge, and to view the prompts beginning January 1.
