Centerboard
As a Creative Collective member with Centerboard, I was absolutely delighted to take the day and volunteer for Essex Heritage’s Bakers Island volunteer day! I am so grateful that Creative Collective creates opportunities to bring people together for a common purpose. Thank you for organizing a perfect volunteer day filled with like-minded folks, gorgeous weather, a peaceful spot, and good old-fashioned hard work painting. It felt great to help another nonprofit organization that has been part of our county for over 30 years.

The Creative Collective for us has been sort of a creative lifeline. We are busy parents with two young kids. We have a fastly growing company. And when I have an idea and I need feedback or I really wanna make it happen, I know that I can contact John or anyone else from the team and get that immediate support.

” I join Creative Collective in 2018 because I was looking for a networking organization that understood what it takes to be a creative business person. It was a real relief to be in a community where people not only understood what I do but what it takes to do what I do.” – Cynthia August Images

Chris O’Keeffe Creative
The reason I will always be a member is because of that flexibility. Creators don’t always know what path their projects or business are going to take. That’s why it’s creative: it’s looking at a blank space in the universe and saying “I think I can do better” – O’Keeffe Creative
