‘Like walking through a coloring book’ —workspace blends creativity, coworking
Stephanie Pruitt-Gaines has opened the Creativity Bar, a workspace that combines play, art, and office space. The space, which member says they feel better when they visit, is designed to foster creativity and community, with aging-well experts noting benefits for healthy aging.
Stephanie Pruitt-Gaines has opened the Creativity Bar, a workspace designed to combine play, art, and office space for its members. “Welcome to the Creativity Bar,” Pruitt-Gaines said, welcoming visitors to the new venture. She said she wants to help shape the future of those who visit.
Pruitt-Gaines, who described herself as someone who has always loved coloring books, said the space feels like “walking through a coloring book.” The Creativity Bar functions as part playroom, part art studio, and part office. “Our members can come, drop in any time and make stuff,” she said. She added that to come up with the next great idea, “you’ve got to have some playfulness and creativity.”
The design: outlined in black
Every inch of the space is outlined in black. Pruitt-Gaines explained that the lines intentionally play with the eyes. “All of these little lines really intentionally play with your eyes and your mind wants to fill them in. And so part of what I hope this space does is people walk in and feel a sense of possibility,” she said.
Healthy aging benefits
Aging-well coach and Aging Untold expert Katherine Ambrose said creativity and play support healthy aging. “Staying curious and making things keeps the brain engaged, it boosts the mood and as we age, it can help prevent isolation,” Ambrose said.
Ambrose said the benefit extends beyond the art itself. “When you create alongside other people, you build purpose and community, which is a huge predictor of healthy aging,” she said.
Members share their experience
Founding members Dawn Cornelius, CEO of The Cornelius Group, and Leigh Patton, a small business owner, have attended several workshops at the Creativity Bar. “I just feel better, and I am better when I come here,” Cornelius said. Patton echoed the sentiment: “Community and creativity, it doesn’t have to be difficult. You can actually just walk in the door.”

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
