What's better than working with intention? 🤔 In my experience, it's thinking with it! Some of my best ideas for event space design come when I visit museums and art galleries 😍 These (often free to visit) spaces are put together with intention by professionals who's priority is how you experience what they are showing you. When I am creating a concept for a B2B event space my priority is the experience of my stakeholders. Event spaces done right are experiences and intentional consideration is key. 🖼 Products on display require consideration of lighting, visual background, environment (temperature, sounds and space) and access. 👩💼 The people experiencing your space need to be considered. How will they be feeling when they arrive at your stand/booth? In my experience they will be ready for a lie down in a quiet dark room! What can you do to bring calm to your space and make it somewhere they want to stay for a while? 🙋♂️ Your team need to be considered. They are going to be stood up in hot, loud, bright space for days on end. How can your choices give them the best chance of representing your brand to the first and last visitors? 💡 If you're looking for inspiration get yourself to our nearest museum or gallery.

Think you’ve seen it all in the world of art? 🎨 You’re in for a surprise! Last month, we hosted the much-anticipated “Affordable Art Fair, a gathering designed to celebrate timeless art and foster connections between artists, curators, collectors, and enthusiasts. It was truly a day to remember that left everyone buzzing with inspiration. 🖼️ The masterpieces showcased were not just canvases filled with colors, but stories of different times, cultures, and societies. 🌱 The event served as a platform for artists to showcase their work, receive feedback, and network with established artists and collectors. Moreover, the event was more than just an exhibition; it was an experience. 🌠 The synergy between the attendees and the art was surreal, an epitome of the transformative power of art. Remember, art is not just about aesthetics. It ignites conversations, fosters relationships, and most importantly, it has the potential to change societies. We look forward to hosting more such events, where we can continue to nurture creativity, appreciate past art, and pave the way for future artists. 🌟 Till then, stay inspired and keep creating!

What's the best way to evoke emotions in your exhibition stand visitors? The psychology of color plays a crucial role. Different colors can evoke various emotions and set the tone for your exhibit. For example, blue can create a calming atmosphere, while red can generate excitement and urgency. Use colors strategically to create the desired mood and atmosphere in your exhibition stand.

We were honored to partner with the Peabody Essex Museum event last week, and thank you to those who joined us. Via Salem News today... THE LOCAL CREATIVE ECOSYSTEM To the editor: Last week, the Peabody Essex Museum and Creative Collective co-hosted a Creative Ecosystem Roundtable, which brought together over 50 community stakeholders from across the region. This event followed a Networking Breakfast and Leadership Forum held in November and offered a chance to delve into our creative community’s unique opportunities and challenges. These events are part of a partnership series on the creative ecosystem that will continue in the fall. According to a 2024 study by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis and the National Endowment for the Arts, with data from 2022, the arts and culture sectors, both for-profit and nonprofit, contribute 4.31% to the nation’s GDP, support over 5.2 million jobs, and represent a $1.02 trillion industry—more than the retail, construction, and transportation sectors. We need more support for the arts and culture sector and this came through loud and clear at the roundtable discussions. The conversations need to shift towards how this sector can be better supported and increase the voices of creatives in discussing our most pressing issues. Collaboration and open and honest dialogue are how we can move even the most difficult issues forward toward resolution. Acknowledging the need for these conversations, last week’s Creative Ecosystem Roundtable gathered a diverse mix of practicing artists, working creatives, government officials, and community leaders. It encouraged participants to break down silos and collaborate on the following themes: Living a Creative Life; Sustainability in the Creative Community; Partnerships and Opportunities; Tourism and Festivals; and Advocacy and Governmental Affairs. The discussions were vibrant and infused with active listening, open-mindedness, and mutual respect. This cross-disciplinary roundtable format was experimental but impactful. The room buzzed with energy as new connections were forged and fresh ideas circulated. A recurring theme was how rare and valuable it is to bring together a wide range of creative stakeholders to tackle old challenges from a fresh perspective. We are compiling notes to identify broad themes, trends, and action items for prioritizing, nurturing, and sustaining creative communities. We sincerely appreciate the participants’ openness and collaboration and for fostering honest dialogue for collective problem-solving.

💭 "How will you affect the future by what you do today?" 👋🏻 Happy Friday, LinkedIn Community! Back in May, I had the privilege of spending a lovely long weekend with a dear friend in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was my first time in the city and I loved the experience. 🎡 I spent time in Designmuseum Danmark and caught "THE FUTURE IS PRESENT" exhibit. The exhibit is divided into three themes: Human, Society and Planet+ I stood in front of this quote by DAVID SUZUKI for a long while and pondered on this quote.... "The future doesn't exist. The only thing that exists is now and our memory of what happened in the past. But because we invented the idea of a future, we’re the only animal that realized we can affect the future by what we do today." So, I'm sharing this with you today and leaving you with the question: 👉🏻 "How will you affect the future by what you do today?" Have an awesome weekend! 🙌🏻 #LeadershipWellness #MindfulPause #SelfCareMatters #FridayFeeling #Refleciton

Thrilled to be part of this upcoming exhibition with these artists at RK Contemporary, South Africa THE DISTANCE BETWEEN There are small places in this world where artists have settled, finding where the spaces between living and creating transform into, in this case, visual artworks. Places where creatives (artists, musicians, poets, chefs and other artisans) are fortunate to be enveloped by calm and appealing environs that are conducive to creativity. With some 120 kilometres between them, covering varied landscapes from the coast moving inland, Riebeek Kasteel and Kommetjie are two such places connected by a metaphoric creative heartbeat. In describing the physicality of these two lovely places, we cannot ignore the spiritual power of the natural world, described by some as a thin place, which is where the veil between the physical and spiritual world becomes permeable and where our perspectives of the world could develop differently. Because of these beautiful places, and an idea of this aesthetic being ‘perfect’, it has to raise awareness of the opposite also being present – a place where there is so much struggle, where life is lived on the edges. However, the sense of being in a thin place can attest to the healing power of the natural world, where one could move into an in-between place, with possibility. This exhibition is a result of a concentration of people who make art, distilling an essence of where they live, continually inspired to develop their work and are also lucky enough to form their own closely knit community within Kommetjie.
