A Midland Center Podcast
Awakening Creativity
Awakening Creativity is a podcast from Midland Center for the Arts, hosted by CEO Matt Travis. Released monthly, each episode features an artist in conversation about the moments that spark creativity and how we carry it into our work, our relationships, and our everyday lives.
Each episode will feature stories from the stage, reflections on belonging, courage, and the power of the arts to help us see new possibilities in ourselves and in each other. Whether you’re a lifelong creator or someone who “doesn’t feel creative,” this podcast is an invitation to get curious and remember: you already are.
