Confluencer: Introduction of the Public Creative

We all ought to be informed and aware human beings as well as creatives; creatives at least in the sense of authoring and performing our own enriched and better lives. But when we choose to enter public discourse, community engagement, and community building, we can find the mechanisms and pathways for interaction, contribution, involvement, collaboration, participation, and connection to be anemic if we do not find ourselves in a formal role in the community or media as thought leader, influencer, or expertise. Conceptualizing the public creative would allow neighbors, enthusiasts, and more informal creatives to infuse the community with their thought leadership, imagination, and experiential expertise.
