EACA 4th Quarter Meeting Recap: Creativity, Curiosity, and Community

The Eldorado Arts & Crafts Association closed out the year on a high note with a powerful and uplifting 4th Quarter General Meeting. The evening featured a deeply inspiring presentation by Lili Pierrepont, Executive Director of ArtBridge, whose work focuses on strengthening creative connections throughout Santa Fe.

Lili shared the story of her journey to Santa Fe and the vision that led to the founding of ArtBridge. Her talk centered on one essential idea: that curiosity and creativity are innate in all of us—and when nurtured, they become tools for building authentic community connection. Attendees were invited to rethink creativity not only as an artistic skill, but as a transformative force that can bridge people, ideas, and experiences.

During the presentation, members were introduced to several of ArtBridge’s core initiatives, including:

• ArtStorming Podcast – a lively exploration of creativity through conversations with artists, thinkers, and innovators.

• The Art of Conversation – a program designed to spark meaningful dialogue and create shared creative experiences among community members.

  
  

The presentation struck a chord with the audience, leaving many feeling energized, inspired, and more mindful of their role in shaping Santa Fe’s vibrant artistic landscape. As we look ahead to the new year, the meeting served as a reminder that creativity grows stronger when shared—and that our community flourishes when we stay curious.
