Here’s your annual reminder that we are all creative beings — with creativity that needs regular nurturing. Over the winter campus closure, consider a solo creative activity or outing that’s about curiosity and play rather than productivity or mastery. Take time to pay attention to what delights and moves you, be it a catalogue of your book library, relishing in a new novel, listening to your favorite song (or taking a chance on a new artist), drawing, crafting, sewing or trying your hand at poetry. At UCLA and across Los Angeles, opportunities to experience the arts are everywhere. Whether you linger in a gallery or discover a new sound or story, these moments of engagement will nourish your imagination and connection. Plan your next UCLA artist moment in the new year using UCLA’s arts and culture calendar.
