Author and Artist Meagan J. Meehan Launches YouTube Channel “Artsy Cr8tive Initiatives”
“All my work aims to do is make people happy,” Meagan J. Meehan declared in a recent exclusive interview. “I hope the art movement I founded will bring the same sort of joy. I started this YouTube channel to raise awareness of my own work, but I would love to start featuring other artist’s work eventually, and interviews, and art events on it too.”
Meagan has also curated shows, including ones for charitable causes. In October of 2019, she curated an art show at The Shabby Tabby Café in the town of Sayville on Long Island. She raised several hundred dollars that went towards the care of adoptable cats residing in the café, most of which are up for adoption. Meagan has many other events for charitable causes planned and hopes to use the YouTube channel as a means of raising awareness.
“I’ve also had three short plays produced titled The Muse, The Values of Gold, Silver & Bronze, and Monster Plans, but I cannot make their recordings live since theaters can be hesitant to produce plays that they know can be found online,” Meagan explained. “I also have some of my screenplays being turned into movies this year and next, and I cannot wait to cover that on my YouTube channel. I’ll definitely be able to share the trailers and/or clips.”
Meagan is currently working on a Ph.D. at the University at Buffalo (SUNY), and she also designs and teaches a series of creative writing courses that end with everyone having their work published. Titled the “Worthwhile Writing” series of classes, Meagan has launched classes for the Horror and Children’s Book genre, and she has plans to expand her class offerings to include Poetry, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Crime Drama, and possibly Romance in the near future. She also hopes to have professional narrators read her student’s work (with their permission) on her channel so she can post it and share it with the world, thus making her student’s stories and names visible.
