Welcome to Creative Thinkers International

Embracing the world with positive creativity since Sept 2007.




After receiving suggestions that it might be too time-consuming to track down clues pertaining to each CTI Spotlight Artist without knowing who the artist was, we have decided to divide the quiz questions into 2 types. The answer for half will be the name of the actual Spotlight Artist. And the answer for the second half will refer to a fact or blog posted by the Spotlight Artist with the artist’s name already provided as part of the question. To qualify to win a gift bag, answers are due back to CTI via email by Saturday, September 21, 2008. To help you along, you can find all the CTI artists by clicking here: http://creativethinkersintl.ning.com/forum/topic/listForCategory?ca...


AND THE QUESTIONS ARE:


1. Who was CTI’s very first Spotlight Artist?

2. Spotlight artist Bernice Angoh, the author of Lemonade Street, is editor-in-chief of which women’s publication?

3. Which spotlight artist is editor of the literary ezine Poet’s Picturebook?

I can say with all honesty that the only answer in reference to a poet that I did not know immediately was for question number 8. How's that for a die-hard CTI fan?
