THE COLLECTIVE

As artists, educators, administrators, researchers, storytellers, and activists, we are committed to accelerating people and projects to shape the world.

In alignment with our organizational values and commitments, we co-create with young creatives and those who cultivate their creativity to take local actions towards global change in pursuit of a more just world.

By design, our Collective is composed of Affiliates who are part-time, multi-hyphenate practitioners who contribute to the shared work of Creative Generation as part of a portfolio career. What are united by our shared, organizational values and commitments and our use of ‘distributed collective leadership,’ understanding that the impact of our relationships, knowledge, and work together far exceeds what any of us can do alone.
