CreativeMornings, or Creative Mornings, is a free monthly breakfast lecture series designed for creative communities. In 2008, Tina Roth-Eisenberg founded the lecture series in Brooklyn, New York as an ongoing, accessible event for New York's creative community. The series is based on the concept: "breakfast and a short talk one Friday morning a month. Every event would be free of charge and open to anyone."[1]
Lecturers include professional creators, designers, photographers and illustrators.[2] CreativeMornings hosts events in 247 cities worldwide in 75 countries. Their events are run by approximately 1,500 volunteer organizers.

Everyone is creative.
A creative life requires bravery and action, honesty and hard work. We are here to support you, celebrate with you, and encourage you to make the things you love.
We believe in the power of community. We believe in giving a damn. We believe in face-to-face connections, in learning from others, in hugs and high fives.
We bring together people who are driven by passion and purpose, confident that they will inspire one another, and inspire change in neighborhoods and cities around the world.
Everyone is welcome.
