4 Ways to Get Creative in Colorado Springs

Easy ways to get creativity or try a new project this summer.

Whether your creativity spans the Mona Lisa or Lisa Frank, summer is the perfect time to get hands-on and make something new. 

1. Design your next gig poster.

Even if you don’t have a band—or your band is still playing in your mom’s basement—Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator pop-ups at Cottonwood Center will help you create your next poster art.
