Empowering Creatives
Through Community
Our Mission
The Creative South Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering creatives and promoting a shared culture.
Our Vision
To build intimate creative communities around the nation, connected by our shared culture, through events and education.
Our Culture
Our shared culture is based on these three principles: inspiration, Southern hospitality, and fellowship.
Inspiring Creatives
The Creative South Foundation uses events, social media, and educational resources to inspire designers and creatives. We want to encourage creatives to pursue their passion and inspire others to action. Creatives shape communities and we inspire creatives.
Shared Southern Hospitality
When we get together, we Hug Necks. As Southerners, we see y’all as family. We want to share southern hospitality with you. We want to spread Southern Hospitality from our community to your community.
Creative Community Fellowship
Creatives thrive in the context of community. The Creative South Foundation works to build creative communities that foster design, inspiration, and fellowship.
“Creative work is not a selfish act or a bid for attention on the part of the actor. It’s a gift to the world and every being in it. Don’t cheat us of your contribution. Give us what you’ve got.”
— Steven Pressfield
