March’s gathering was deeply insightful and impactful as we explored how artists shape community, how creative ecosystems evolve across cities, and what becomes possible when collaboration moves beyond geography.

Thank you to @bennybing, @shanthistar94, @srimoyee.mitra, Regine C. Beauboeuf, PE, and @lyricsymone of @artologyorg for your wisdom and presence. You reminded us of the collective and civic power of being a creative.

Grateful as always to our partners, to the energy set by @sel.in.space of @undergroundmusicacademy and to the coffee by @sabbathcoffeeroasters that carried us through the morning.

Now, we turn toward April 17    

We’re partnering with one of Detroit’s newest and most exciting initiatives — @movedetroit. More to come soon, but consider this your invitation to be in the room.

 RSVP now to save your spot for April 17

WATCH FEBRUARY 2026 RECAP

What an honor it was to intentionally celebrate Black History Month with @cornettalane, @ifayomi_, @thekitchengenealogist, and @nourish______.

Together, we experienced CreativeMornings/Detroit’s first-ever film screening featuring Grandmother: LAURA by @cornettalane of @studio8278detroit and Until It Feels Like Worship (@feelalikeworkship) by @ifayomi_. It was impossible to leave the room without feeling deeply moved by their stories and energy.

And of course, the vibes were carried throughout the morning by DJ @just_shacoi of @undergroundmusicacademy.

Thank you to everyone who joined us—and to our partners who make these gatherings possible.

We’re already gearing up for our next gathering on March 20, presented by @artologyorg.

RSVP now   More details dropping soon!
