About CreativeLedge
The CreativeLedge Vision: A Personal View from Bob Barancik, Founder and Catalyst-in-Residence
The purpose of all CreativeLedge endeavors is to promote a more innovative, open, and humane society through interdisciplinary collaboration.
This will be accomplished through the production of videos and Web sites, workshops and gatherings, exhibits and performances, and book publishing.
A rustic CreativeLedge Studio has been built on Long Island, Maine, for both creative personal retreats and collaborative interaction, and a biennial CreativeShare gathering was established in 2005.
The core group that developed this Web site includes:
