Creative Inspiration in Ely HEAR FROM LOCAL CREATIVES ABOUT WHAT MAKES THIS PLACE SPECIAL
How do the seasons influence creativity for you here? “Our distinct seasons influence us immensely. Changes in our environment affect our mood, energy level, and our creativity. Just as certain foods grow during certain times of the year, we focus on certain things in each season. I thrive in winter time, most creativity happens for me then. In spring, I find myself starting to recede and find inner creativity. Summer is my most contemplative season, where I spend my days planning and preparing for what’s next. In fall, I come out of the gate running and am fully immersed in creating music again.” - Karl Kubiak, Ely High School Band & Ely City Band Director Karl’s favorite area gatherings are the Ely Farmer’s Market and NLAA productions.
