November's Theme is THREAD
It was chosen by our Derby chapter in the UK, illustrated by Carla Dee, and is presented by our global partner Adobe. Ever pull on a loose thread? Things can unravel quickly. The creative process can feel like that. A nagging thought, an imperfect bit, or a big tangled mess. But maybe that thread is trying to tell you something. Follow it and see where it takes you. It turns out that all the good and bad in your life is forming a beautiful tapestry.
We wrapped up our October event, #CMVision, and it’s time to extend our thanks to everyone who made it happen! 🙌 💚
🎤 First, a big shoutout to our speaker Andreia Olaru! Andreia’s talk on moving from a scarcity mindset to one of possibility gave us powerful insights into sparking creativity and change. 🏠 A heartfelt thanks to VÄRT - Sustainable Food Lab for hosting us in their welcoming space. It was the perfect setting for #CMGothenburg. 🍪 🍮 For breakfast, we were treated to delicious brioches baked by Justine Boshart from Just’bon and amazing coffee from Kafferäven, thank you both for fueling our morning! 🎥 📷 Special appreciation to Lily Ray and Kotte for capturing the day so beautifully in photos and video. ✏️ Big thanks to our amazing friend, Sit & Draw!

October’s global theme is VISION.
It was chosen by our Riyadh chapter in Saudi Arabia and illustrated by Razan Alshalan.
Vision refers both to the sense of sight and our ability to imagine the future. Are you focused on the little details? Can you see the big picture?
Each creative act involves seeing something in your mind’s eye then attempting to make it a reality. A painter, an architect, and every other type of artist or craftsman has a vision for their work. What message, emotion, or impact do you want to convey in yours?

September's Theme is REFLECTION
It was selected by the Oklahoma City chapter and illustrated by Aditi Heins.
Reflecting on difficult moments can be painful but also healing. When our Oklahoma City chapter selected this theme, they mentioned a reflecting pool at the site of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing that was designed to help people reflect on how they were changed by that tragic event.
