​Welcome friends, family and supporters.

​To start the year off right, on Friday, January 9th, we are excited to invite you to our Second Annual Gala—an evening celebrating creativity, community, and the people who make Cleveland such a special place to grow and build.

​This event is all about bringing people together and strengthening the creative community around us. We’d love for you to join us for a meaningful, inspiring night that reflects the heart of what we do.

​We will implement a conversation matching system starting at 5PM, and your matches will be released based on the questions handled by Matchbox.

​The dress code is Cocktail Attire. Please come dressed up for the theme and put your own creative twist on it. We will release mood board and inspirations—Monday, January 5th 2026

​As well as talks from our exciting group of panelists:

• ​Valerie Mayén from @Yellowcake Shop

• ​Thao Nguyen from @Thao Creative Studio

• ​Justis Daniels from @Rocket Science Experiment

• ​Eli Ameshie from @wearenynth

​We would love to see all of you there!
