Wavelets Creative is an artist-run, integrative community arts organization, based in Minneapolis, Mni Sota Makoče. Wavelets Creative produces immersive artistic experiences that inspire a reorientation to the natural world, our shared past, and our own creative possibilities, with the aim of building and strengthening healthy, vibrant individuals and communities.

Wavelets Creative was formed by Artistic Director and lead artist JG Everest in 2016 to facilitate the growth of an artistic community that can offer unique artistic experiences to artists and audiences alike.

Wavelets Creative’s mission is to collaboratively develop, create, and perform interactive, multi-disciplinary site-specific performance installations as a way of bringing communities together to discover, acknowledge, and reflect upon the histories, cultures, and ecologies that connect us to each other and the natural world.

Wavelets Creative believes that the creative artistic process, while refined and matured in working artists, is an essential part of being human, and is present in everyone, if given opportunities to access it. By including local community members and organizations in aspects of the creative process and performances, Wavelets Creative works to generate ripples of new energy and awareness, awakening individuals and communities to their own capacities for growth and transformation in a way that more firmly grounds them in the times and places of their lives.

Programs & Activities

Wavelets Creative has been developing and presenting an ongoing series of site-specific outdoor "Sound Gardens" since its founding in 2016 by Artistic Director JG Everest, at several sites around Minnesota and Wisconsin, but also at locations in California, Massachusetts, Canada, and the U.K. Often these presentations include free, outdoor community Art + Nature workshops, led by teaching artists and naturalists, in which participants are led on interpretive walks to connect with the local ecology and history of a site, and then given time and opportunity to create their own artistic creative responses to the site as it intersects with their own lives. These contributions of poetry, sculpture, music, movement, and visual art are then included in the larger public sound + performance installation, as gifts to the wider community.
For an example of this work and these workshops, check out this 7-min video from our Summer Sound Garden at Silverwood Park in June 2024.
