For a creative professional, a creative block isn’t just frustrating—it’s potentially career-damaging. But all creative blocks are not created equal. Different types of blocks require different solutions.

“Should I Create Art?” will take place from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Wednesday Nov. 15, and attempt to address these concerns. The event will be at The MAIN, located at 24266 Main Street in Old Town Newhall.  

At this free panel discussion, artists will discuss the most common types of creative blocks and provide tips and tricks on how to unblock them.

Two professional artists will give advice on how to overcome creative block as an artist and how to address a faltering passion for art. The free event is open to the public and no RSVP is required to attend.
