Since 2012, CreativeMornings/Pittsburgh has brought a little spark of creativity to one Friday morning a month. This free lecture series features a different local speaker and theme each month.

We’ve heard from many folks who just can’t take time off work (or wake up early) but would like to participate. The solution: Creative Mornings @ Night.

The first Creative Mornings @ Night

On Monday, Sept. 30, 2019, we are excited to present the first CreativeMornings/Pittsburgh @ Night, which delves deeper into themes that matter, with some adaptations for folks who just can’t do mornings.

CreativeMornings/Pittsburgh @ Night positions itself as accessible for newcomers, and still something unique for CM regulars. Our first evening event combines August’s theme of Justice with September’s theme of Muse.

Part of a movement that spans more than 200 cities worldwide, the traditional CM setup features a local thought leader speaking for 20-30 minutes on a global theme. There’s complimentary coffee and, thanks to Cris’ Catering, our Pittsburgh chapter offers an incredible breakfast spread each month, too. The festivities often start out with some activities and a performance by an artist from 1Hood.

So what to expect at Creative Mornings @ Night?

Our first event will be held at City of Asylum in the Northside. We’re featuring not one but FOUR local speakers. Two are CreativeMornings alums and two are newcomers. We’re purposefully replacing the large presentation aspect of the conventional morning event with multiple, simultaneous, small-group sharing experiences. As you move from station to station, you are are able to create a personal recollection of the CMP @ Night experience with an assist from a zine made possible in partnership with Meshwork Press.

The speakers:

• Damon Young (editor-in-chief of Very Smart Brothas and author of “What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Blacker”)
• Dee Briggs (sculptor and artist known for her large-scale work; recently named Pittsburgh Center for the Arts & Media’s Artist of the Year)
• Jasmine Cho (founder of Yummyholic, the online bakery specializing in custom treats that raise awareness for underrepresented cultures – “essentially cookies as a form of activism”
• Max Emiliano Gonzales (art educator, muralist, graffiti writer, printmaker and curator, also known by his graffiti name GEMS)

For the evening happy hour time slot, the coffee has been replaced with complimentary cocktails. The creative team at Pennsylvania Libations have developed “Justice” and “Muse” themed beverages. Cris’ Catering will go off-menu from their morning breakfast options to provide some hors d’oeuvres.
