The Creativity Choice: Bridging Thinking and Feeling to Make Ideas Happen Afternoon Talk
Glencairn Museum is pleased to welcome Yale psychologist and author Dr. Zorana
Ivcevic Pringle for an inspiring lecture exploring the science and lived experience of
creativity.
In this thought-provoking talk, Dr. Ivcevic Pringle challenges the myths that prevent
many people from seeing themselves as creative. Drawing on decades of research
behind The Creativity Choice, she shows that creativity is not a rare talent nor a sudden
flash of inspiration reserved for a fortunate few. Instead, it develops through sustained
effort, experimentation, and “problem finding,” learning to recognize what is worth
making and imagining it from multiple perspectives.
She also examines how thinking and feeling work together in the creative process.
Emotions such as uncertainty, frustration, and excitement are not obstacles to overcome,
but meaningful signals that can guide creative work forward. By reframing creativity as
something that grows through action and interaction with materials, audiences, and
institutions, this lecture invites you to see creative expression, from art to everyday
problem-solving, as deeply human and learnable.
