February 23, 4:30 - 6 pm - Zoom

Connect.   Learn.   Collaborate.   Celebrate.

Over the past few months, a small but expanding group of creatives have been talking about the need for space to connect, give and receive support, and learn from peers. We’ve bounced around a variety of ideas and are humbling bringing you this prototype as the first creative community gathering.

Join us and help build something amazing that showcases and amplifies the energy, camaraderie, wisdom and skills of the creative talent within our region.

Gatherings will be a space to network, develop knowledge, skills and confidence, uncover business opportunities and collaborate to enrich the creative economy. Designers, artists, entrepreneurs, freelancers and creative business leaders of all kinds are invited to be part of this gathering. Tentatively planned for the 4th Wednesday of the month, in-person starting in March. We’re especially grateful to the several individuals who have helped develop the program and will be facilitating small group discussions.  This gathering is hosted by the Center for Creative Exploration at PA College of Art & Design.
