The Ridgefield Arts Council invites local artists and creative professionals to the next installment of “The Generator.” The networking event will be held at 7:30pm, Monday, October 6th at the Ridgefield Guild of Artists, 34 Halpin Lane in Ridgefield.

During the event, artists, writers and performers gather with the goal of learning, sharing, and networking with others to enhance both their creative process and their careers.  The events are managed via the website Meetup.com and feature innovative speakers, arts demonstrations and presentations geared toward the creative community.  

The October meeting features five-minute presentations by Rick Hodder, the coach and director of the Theater Barn's improv group, who will lead an interactive improve exercise; Edwin Taylor, the Minister of Music and Music Director at The First Congregational Church who will speak to building community through music; and Adelka Polak, the founder and Artistic Director of SOVA Dance and Puppet Theater, who will present a short piece incorporating fabric, objects, and natural materials with organic movement.

Following the brief presentations, members of The Generator will be encouraged to mix and mingle with presenters and each other. Creative types who live in and around Ridgefield are welcome to attend. Cost of attending The Generator is $5 for pre-registration (via meetup.com/The-Generator-Ridgefield-CT) or $10 at the door, which covers the cost of wine and light snacks.
