Join WeCreate408, the free, online creativity challenge, inspiring and celebrating San José.

As part of Arts, Culture, and Creativity Month, the Office of Cultural Affairs launched WeCreate408 in 2021. WeCreate408 is a month-long online challenge to inspire creativity and celebrate San José’s rich and diverse arts and culture. The Office of Cultural Affairs partnered with dozens San José arts organizations, businesses, and community groups on this initiative. The public is invited to sign up at WeCreate408.org to receive creative prompts in April for creative actions to do on their own and suggestions for creative activities around San José.

People can take part at their own pace or whenever they feel inspired. Each prompt is open to interpretation. Everyone is welcome to participate; you don’t need to consider yourself an “artist” to take part. We encourage you to share your responses to the creative prompts on social media by using the hashtag #WeCreate408.

This workshop is facilitated by Art Builds Community.
