Creative AfterHours: Watercolors with GroundWork Creatives
• – • Be Nice House
About the speaker
Groundwork Creatives is a play centered, women owned business founded in 2023, in Atlanta, GA. We curate playful and immersive experiences for people who want to cultivate balance, joy and creativity in their daily lives. Founded by 3 playful women; Jasmine, Andrea and Kim saw a need to reintroduce people to play in a more elevated way. We believe everyone deserves a full and satisfying life outside of work and responsibilities. Our motto, “Play it Forward,” guides us on our mission to share this belief through curated playful events that foster play and provide tools that reintroduce people to play.
As responsibilities mount, play often takes a backseat. Adults face societal pressures to prioritize productivity over leisure, and play is frequently viewed as unproductive. Research has found play to be a key component in the development of human beings. It is fundamental for cognitive development throughout one’s life, a vital tool for well-being, creativity, and resilience for adults in their personal and professional lives. We, at Groundwork Creatives, believe life should be more than just work and responsibilities and encourage play throughout one’s life!

Be Nice House With an abundance of indoor workspace, an expansive courtyard, and an inspiring roof deck, we designed Be Nice to be the perfect place for hatching plans, hosting gatherings, and expanding minds.
Formerly a mechanic shop, a welding studio, a church, and a yoga studio, Be Nice now carries forth the spirit of each of its former tenants. It’s named for the simple, powerful directive we found written on the side of the building: Be Nice.
Additional details
Join us for an evening of watercolors and imagination with Groundwork Creatives as we explore the theme BLOSSOM at Be Nice House. Doors open at 6:30pm for light bites and mingling. Event starts at 7pm.
In this immersive, guided watercolor journey, participants will move through three thoughtfully designed stations outfitted with natural motifs that each represent a distinct phase in the life cycle of a blossom: Planting the Seed, Blossoming, and Returning to Earth. At each station, a creative prompt invites introspection and expression through watercolor, texture, and movement.
