I have this vision of curating an event for creatives. A couple ideas have been brewing in my head for a while now. I would like to share a mock up idea or version of this event so please comment ideas, ways to help, changes to make this event better, or any other suggestions!
This creative event can be held in the summer or the winter or both if it goes well. It will be a gathering filled with food, drinks, music, art, creativity, and all homemade items.
Summer
For my event, I want to hold this gathering in a river.
The theme of the event will be Sustainability
Everyone who is invited MUST create something for the event.
In order for this event to happen, I will need to find people to create…
- Food
- Drinks
- Table
- Utensils
- Table cloth
- Plates
- Napkins
- Glasses
- Power (solar? generator? fire?)
- Chairs
- Servers/ Bussers
- Art
- Music
- Filmer
- Photographer
- Decorator
- Coolers
- Speakers
I am picturing this event somewhere on the river that is big enough to hold a large amount of people but at the same time be hidden; not a very popular spot that people tend to visit. Once each creative shows up, the event begins setting its self up. Every person must dress to the theme. Someone will document the process. Someone will make a film out of the process. Someone will take portraits of the process. The table and chairs will be placed in the river along with the entire event. There will be people to design the table and area. The music will be live. The artists will create their work in advance and set everything up in the river. The food will be homemade and prepared in the river, as well as, served and cleared in the river. There will be people who serve and clear the meals. People who make the drinks themselves. People who will create the plates, napkins, and utensils for the theme of the event. Everyone pitches in to set up and everyone pitches in taking down. Without everyone’s help/creativity/artwork this event couldn’t happen. Everyone has a purpose. This event is for the purpose of creativity. Get loose and find yourself in the process.
Winter
For my event, I want to hold this gathering on the ice.
The theme will be Fire & Ice

I am picturing this event on the frozen lake. Once each creative shows up, the event begins setting its self up. Every person must dress to the theme. Someone will document the process. Someone will make a film out of the process. Someone will take portraits of the process. There will be people to design the table and area. The music will be live. The artists will create their work in advance and set everything up on the ice. The food will be prepared on the ice, served, as well as cleared. Everyone pitches in to set up and everyone pitches in taking down. Without everyone’s help/creativity/artwork this event couldn’t happen. Everyone has a purpose. This event is for the purpose of creativity. Get loose and find yourself in the process.
To be able to gather this many creative people in one place with so many amazing different passions will truly be a magical time and experience.
