FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
UNIVERSITIES
What does a university’s “participation” entail?
Effectively, participation means that your university would like to display the exhibition, which as it’s a large, hand-embellished, loose-leaf folio edition, is easy to exhibit on walls, stands or display cabinets. Participation is flexible to your schedule and exhibition space. There is no cost involved.*

THE INTERVIEWS
THE UNFOLDING STORY ONLINE EXHIBITION
In addition to The Creative Process traveling exhibition, the interviews are also being published online through a network of collaborating university and national literary/arts magazines.
How else can we get involved?
Students and faculty may also participate in interviews, supporting events, or curriculum integration. We have a number of ongoing educational initiatives, including workshops and special 4th-year courses focusing on making short films/animations based on stories by participating writers. You can also submit related essays, stories, poems, creative works, and cross-genre pieces.
We are interested in celebrating creativity in all its forms. If you would like to suggest works previously published by your journal, we would be delighted to feature them along with the usual acknowledgments. These will be published online and may be shown as part of the projection elements of The Creative Process.
We look forward to collaborating with your publication, and thank you for participating in The Creative Process!

DISPLAYING THE EXHIBITION
Wall-mounted with FixationsFlat-laying or Standing on Display Tables
augmented by PROJECTION/SCREEN ELEMENTS which include creative works by contributors from over 75 countries
PROJECTION/SCREEN ELEMENTS
The physical exhibition is completely modular and adaptable to any exhibition space. Projection/Screen Elements are also adaptable and, depending on your space, can be projected onto a wall or shown on a smaller screen(s).
In addition to illustrated interviews, The Creative Process' projection elements include stories, essays, poems, short films, dance, and creative works by contributors from over 50 countries.
SELECTED PROJECTION ELEMENTS
Each exhibition includes unique content celebrating the creative contributions of the university and region.
Projection elements below includes exhibition content for recent shows at University of Leuven for the European Conference for the Humanities and University of Salamanca's 800th Anniversary.
Since The Creative Process exhibition is in the form of a hand-embellished, loose-leaf folio book, it is modular and expands or contracts to suit any space.
The page size is approximately ledger size/A3, making it easy to exhibit on a wall, display table, or in a corner of the library. (An A2 version is available for venues with larger exhibition spaces.)
Since the pages are loose-leaf, sections can be removed and mounted or displayed separately, making it possible to show one part in the library and another in the Literature/Art Department, Gallery Space or Culture Center. Display on a table(s) probably being the easiest form of exhibition, as the pages can be rotated to display different authors over the course of the exhibition.
For wall exhibition, easy-to-mount fixations and reusable presentation templates are provided. The pages are lightweight and therefore can be mounted in any suitable space.
We also provide slideshow of projection elements, which expand the scope of the exhibition, document various educational initiatives, and make The Creative Process adaptable to any exhibition space available at your university.
Formal exhibition space at my university is booked a year or two in advance. Can we still participate?
Yes. It takes a while to complete interviews with your faculty so there is no rush. We are delighted with your participation and the opportunity to exhibit The Creative Process in your university's library or any space you deem suitable. Down the line, as dedicated exhibition space in your university's gallery or culture center becomes available, then the expanded content and projection elements may be shown. Participation is entirely flexible to your schedule and exhibition space.
SUPPORTING EVENTS
The Creative Process is happy to work with participating universities to arrange events to encourage public as well as student engagement. Some universities have elected to have a local featured author attend a launch, while others are organizing talks and conversations around the theme. Readings performed by faculty and students of featured authors’ work are another way universities can participate in turning the exhibition into an event which can be enjoyed by all.
The Creative Process traveling exhibition will take place within a five year period and will be held in leading universities around the world. The list of participating universities and institutions is presently being completed. If you’d like to take part in this celebration of the humanities, please contact us.
