Building Community Through Creativity and Connection in Beverly.

This special collaborative gathering brings together Creative Collective and Greater Beverly Chamber of Commerce members for a morning of authentic connection inside one of Essex County’s most inspiring creative spaces. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, creator, consultant, or nonprofit leader, this is a morning for the community builders who believe business success and human impact go hand in hand.

Express Yourself · @expressyourselfinc

Express Yourself is a Beverly-based 501(c)3 nonprofit that has spent over 30 years using the transformative power of the arts to help young people with mental and behavioral health issues find self-expression, inner strength, and community. Through dance, music, drumming, and visual art, over 300 youth each year work toward a grand performance at the Boch Center–Wang Theatre. This year’s theme, BLOOM, celebrates the creative growth that unfolds when young people are given the freedom to truly express themselves — and their next performance on May 21, 2026 promises to be extraordinary.
