Creativity is not a luxury and it’s not reserved for artists. It’s one of the most powerful tools we have for adaptability, resilience, and connection.”

AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, March 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Austin-based artist and educator Jodie King will speak at SXSW EDU during South by Southwest on March 12 at 2:30 PM with a solo talk titled “The Lie That You’re Not Creative.”

In the session, King challenges a belief many people carry from childhood: that creativity is reserved for artists or a small group of “creative people.” Drawing from more than two decades of teaching through her Honest Art^® programs, King argues that creativity is not a talent but a fundamental human capability.

As artificial intelligence reshapes how people work and create, King explores why imagination, curiosity, and human expression may become more valuable than ever.

“Creativity is not a luxury and it’s not reserved for artists,” King said. “It’s one of the most powerful tools we have for adaptability, resilience, and connection.”

King is an Austin-based artist, educator, and founder of Honest Art^®, a creative education platform that has helped thousands of students reconnect with creativity through workshops, courses, and mentorship. She hosts a widely followed podcast on creativity and identity, serves on the board of Art for the Streets, and was named one of the Top 50 Women Leaders of Austin.
