Still getting over how awesome last month’s talk on ‪#COLLABORATION was! Excited for THIS month’s talk on ‪#ACTION. Stay tuned for details, coming soon!  

Wise words for your afternoon from one of our ‪#COLLABORATION speakers, Charm City Cook, this past month.

Thanks Baltimore Magazine for the naming us “Best Hub!” We wouldn’t be what we are if it wasn’t for all the good people involved and those of you that come and carry the conversations each month! Huzzah!

This is Adam. Adam is a lawyer. 

Hailing from Maryland Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts, we’re lucking enough to have Adam at Friday's #CreativeMornings with a table, flyers and smart lawyer answers for all your smart legal/arts questions. Don’t miss out!

BONUS ROUND! Just when you thought things couldn’t get any better… We’re hosting a Happy Hour!!

With Bmoreart by our side, we’ll be continuing the creative chats into the evening at Union Craft Brewing on June 19th at 5PM (same day as our morning event). 

Join us (and Belinda & Terry of Elevated Element!) for some not-so-early happiness. Oh and booze. 

Shout out to Wesley Stuckey for this awesome art!

Bam! Behind the scenes footage of this month’s speakers, Elevated Element team Terry & Belinda, nailing an aerial shot of surf fishing on Assateague Island. 

Welcome to June! A new month means a new CreativeMornings! Mark your calendars with a big ole’ sharpie because June is bringing something special. Remember that time last month when we switched themes on you and the rest of the world? You’ll see the rest of CreativeMornings folk around the globe celebrating the REVOLUTION theme, but this month Baltimore will be geeking out on #ROBOTS. 

We’re bringing on the husband and wife team Terry & Belinda Kilby behind the aerial photography project, Elevated Element to the stage at Baltimore School for the Arts. Merging Terry’s love and expertise of robots and remote-controlled gadgets and Belinda’s background in fine arts, they’ve created a dynamic form of photography you won’t want to miss. 

Using the latest in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV’s) technology, they are able to put cameras in places that have not been possible till now. The ability to position a camera anywhere from 4 to 400 feet off of the ground remotely allows Terry & Belinda to capture 100% original shots that have never been captured before, ever.

Sound cool? Yeah, we know. FREE tickets go live on June 15th.
By the way, we don’t want to spoil any surprises, but bring your dancin’ shoes…just in case.

Hey there,

Katie here, your monthly breakfast host. Hope this finds you each well and safe.

I wanted to briefly share with you what we’ve been working on in response to what’s happening in our community this week…

We’ve had the privilege of teaming up with the tech-savvy organizer from Creative Mornings Boston, Keith Frankel to create a place where we as a community can tell our own story about what’s happening in our city. Not simply act as observers, but as creators. Not simply be consumers, but also authors.

So (drumroll please)… Meet Proof of Hope (POH), a website where you can post photos, videos, and stories that portray ALL sides of the events, not just the ugly and violent. A site where people can act as agents of their own community’s narrative.

A protest by its very nature is a gesture that those protesting have not lost hope. They’re hoping that by coming together and demonstrating a unified front, change can be catalyzed.

We would love if you posted your photos and stories at POH.

(I know that for some of you it is literally your job to be documenting these events and for that we THANK YOU. We’d be especially honored by your contributions)

We would especially LOVE if you each shared this link with your own friends, fans, and followers. Tweet, post, tag, you know the drill. Be Creative. Be Creators.

Thank you so much and my love to you all. 

Best, Katie
