Creatives in Color V: fellowship Recap

Aug 20

There’s something special about watching community form in front of your eyes. People sharing ideas, hyping each other up, laughing, and just having a good time. Our 5 year celebration of Creatives in Color was exactly that — people coming together around a shared sense of fellowship and camaraderie. Reminisce on this unforgettable weekend in the gallery below, and see if you can find yourself in a photo!
