Here’s What’s Waiting For You In April 

A fresh creative prompt in your inbox every week during California Arts, Culture, and Creativity Month.
No staring at a blank page, wondering what to make. Each week, we send you a spark. Respond using photography, writing, drawing, collage, or whatever calls you. Just show up and create. 

A chance to win real prizes from your favorite local spots 
Our creative partners are giving away prizes every week. Your creativity could get you free museum passes. Or coffee. Or both! 

Creativity that takes 10 minutes or less – no art degree required 
You don’t need a studio, a portfolio, or even a plan. If you have 10 minutes and something you want to express, you’re already a participant. The only rule? Have fun! 

See your work on the Wall of Creativity alongside thousands of San Joseans 
Share your response with #WeCreate408 on any social platform and watch it appear in our growing community gallery. Your art. Your city. On display.  

Connect with your community through the most human thing in the world  
Art is how we know each other. Every prompt is a chance to see your city from a new angle – and to show the world the San José you experience every day.
