I have attended several events, over the years, at Wild Goose Creative.
During much of 2012, I had participated in a Wild Goose Creative Writers Group. I am a non-fiction writer [journalist] but I very much hope that I am creative.
About a year ago, Simply Living had held its 2018 Holiday Open House at Wild Goose Creative at least in part because that space is wheelchair-accessible. I remember two Simply Living people who are wheelchair users who had attended that event.
Yesterday [6-8-2019], Humanist Community of Central Ohio [HCCO] had hosted an all-day AHA [American Humanist Association "Virtual" Annual Conference] Viewing Party and Potluck. We had gathered for a total of eight hours at Wild Goose Creative and had watched the AHA conference "streamed live" and projected onto a large screen while others who had been present had had conversations elsewhere in the room.

It feels perfectly like any other little hole in the wall arts-outlet joint I've ever been to...Familiar and energizing.
So far I can only really speak for the bi-monthly writing workshop, but I had a blast sharing and discussing with everyone who attended. I'm definitely returning for this event in the future and I'm very interested to see everything else they have...
Read moreWild Goose is only what I can describe as the "heart eyes" emojii. The programming is EXCELLENT, super affordable and intersectional. They always have new programming and a wide variety of activities. If you are at all involved in the arts check it out. If you even remotely enjoy creative pursuits check it out.
