Creative Circle

**Paint & Be Seen 🎨 \| Art & Photo Experience in Milan** This is not a workshop — it’s a creative portal where people meet who are not afraid of themselves, their thoughts, or their beauty. Open to both men and women. But it’s not for everyone. This is not about “painting something nice.” It’s about stepping out of your usual image and seeing yourself without a filter. A studio in Milan, near Gorla metro. A real artist’s space — not polished, not staged. High walls, antique frames, paint on the floor. This is where art is created, not performed. You sit in front of a canvas. Wearing something that doesn’t hide you — natural tones, simple fabrics, a dress or a linen shirt without prints. Something you don’t mind getting a little paint on. Because neatness is control. And here, we let go of it. A glass of wine — to relax and release even deeper. You don’t paint “beautifully.” You paint honestly. I know how to teach — but I won’t. I don’t give templates. I stay close, so you don’t escape yourself in the process. And in that moment, the photographer is working. He doesn’t create “pretty pictures.” He captures truth. A glance. A pause. The movement of your hand. The moment of doubt. The moment you let go and begin. Light and shadow are shaped so you don’t pose — you become part of the frame. This is not just photography. It’s a captured state. 👉 Take a look at the style of photos we create during this live experience — this is not about posing, but about capturing real moments, atmosphere, and your natural presence. We are not about perfection. We are about what is real. There are no “right” people here. Only real ones. We stand for a life without masks. For the courage to see your beauty — not through standards, but through feeling. I speak Italian, English, Ukrainian, and Russian — but here, the real language is color and sensation. ✨ What you receive: — your own painting (30×40 cm, acrylic) — professional black & white portraits — natural group photos — a creative video of the experience — a glass of wine Small group — up to 6 participants. Personal attention. 💰 Price: €80 (all included) Spots are limited. And honestly — it’s not for everyone.

**ARCHETIPARTE - ROMPERE LA QUARTA PARETE** [Presentazione Archetiparte](https://insightart.blog/2026/03/06/archetipare/) [Iscriviti all'evento](https://forms.gle/t1EEGMHrPBcb3cecA) [Video presentazione](https://canva.link/qhnr4p786ohwrho) Un incontro esperienziale in cui arte, cinema, musica e filosofia diventano strumenti per osservare le “scenografie invisibili” per spiegare la quarta parete. Attraverso un brano dei Queen, una scena di un noto film, una parabola filosofica e alcuni dipinti della storia dell’arte, esploriamo cosa accade quando la rappresentazione non coincide più con l’esperienza reale. Non è una lezione accademica, ma uno spazio di condivisione intuitiva attraverso gli archetipi: un’occasione per riconoscere le crepe nelle narrazioni quotidiane e scoprire nuovi modi di vedere.

Step into the very first evening at Kookie’s LAB Studio and be part of its beginning. This two-hour creative experience is designed as a relaxed Friday night ritual: slow down, get your hands messy, and shape something beautiful from start to finish. Guided step by step, you will create two decorative pieces: a small vase an hexagon plate You’ll design them yourself, choose colors and details, and bring both pieces home with you at the end of the workshop. No prior experience is needed — just curiosity and the desire to create. The atmosphere is intimate, welcoming, and intentionally unhurried: a space to experiment, connect, and enjoy the process as much as the result. This is not just a workshop. It’s the first pour, the first shapes, the very first night of the studio. ✨ All materials included ✨ Duration: 2 hours ✨ Language: English **Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls. We provide access to hundreds of experiences that explore your passions and connect you with other event participants. **Check our website to learn more, and apply to join our community and events**: [lesamis.cc/apply](https://www.lesamis.cc/apply)

Jazz Night è l’appuntamento fisso del venerdì sera con la musica jazz in Cascina Nascosta. La formula è semplice: si comincia alle 21.30 ascoltando il concerto del gruppo invitato per la serata, successivamente avrà inizio la jam session jazz, dove i musicisti presenti in sala potranno partecipare liberamente o semplicemente ascoltare. Venerdì 10 aprile, abbiamo il piacere di ospitare "Jonas Blume First Words". First Words è il progetto del pianista e compositore jazz tedesco Jonas Blume. Nel quartetto internazionale composto da Edoardo Cimino (chitarra, IT), John de Martino (batteria, IT), Léna Aubert (contrabbasso, FR) e Jonas Blume (pianoforte, DE), la band di Bruxelles/Amsterdam fonde diversi background culturali e musicali. Nelle sue composizioni, Blume sperimenta la linea sottile tra composizione elaborata e improvvisazione. La sua musica è caratterizzata da groove e melodie orecchiabili, da un'armonia atmosferica e da una gestione ispirata del ritmo e della forma musicale. Link Dice: https://link.dice.fm/fdcffb1a7615

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

The topic for April is "Water" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
