#cmindy

Inspired by our friends at CreativeMornings/Austin, we’re bringing you some new content on this here blog! We’re calling it CMugshot. 

Just five events in, CreativeMornings/Indianapolis already has a fantastically engaged community, so we decided to highlight one of your shining faces at our event every month. We’re dubbing it #CMugshots. So, get your profiles in tip-top shape and you could be the next feature on our blog.

To kick things off, we’re starting with our glowing volunteer, Lauren Fields. 

Lauren Fields

What’s your day job? In-house design, marketing, and social media for a soy sauce company. Which works out well considering how much I love Asian food!

What’s your favorite breakfast food? Toast. Lately it’s topped with almond butter, honey, apple slices, and cinnamon.

Where’s a place you’d stop on a free afternoon in Indy? PRINTtEXT. Periodicals, a cozy couch, a pup, and great company. Plus it’s close to so much good food and is a refreshing bike-ride from downtown.

What’s one thing you’ve been inspired by lately? Travel. I feel inspired when I’m free to explore new places, meet new people, and gather new ideas.

In spirit of the March theme…What is the last project in which you used ink? I recently started a daily sketch project. I try to keep it less than 30-minutes, and so far it’s everyday items found in my apartment.

Connect with Lauren!

Many thanks to photographers Anna Zimmerman and Mark McCullough for capturing our March Ink event at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. See all event photos here.

CreativeMornings/Indianapolis was founded out of a desire to present an ongoing, accessible event for all creative people. 

Each month, we join together in connecting with people to be pushed out of our comfort zones to experience something new.

We are a forum for local creatives from all industries, backgrounds, and professions to express themselves. Creativity is expansive, and we’re proud of the diversity our attendees, speakers, partners, volunteers – and our Indianapolis home – represent.

Greetings from a thawing Indianapolis!

This month’s global CreativeMornings theme is Ink. We’re thrilled to have designer, illustrator and screen printer, Aaron Scamihorn speaking at the Indianapolis Museum of Art on Friday, March 27.

Aaron has focused on bringing solid aesthetics to brands and bands. Growing up in a home with ceramic artists for parents, creation was a constant theme in daily life. The desire to create physical art was not lost when he chose to enter into a career of design and illustration. After a few years of working only in the digital realm, he taught himself to screen print in effort to fulfill this need to create with his hands.

What started as a few small show fliers for local acts has grown into limited edition gig posters and merchandise for world tours and major labels. Just a few miles away from downtown Indy, operating under the business name Ronlewhorn Industries, Aaron designs and hand screen prints artwork for clients such as Queens of the Stone Age, Cake, Arctic Monkeys, Bayside, Taking Back Sunday and Dropkick Murphys.

A huge thanks to our friend Peter Lockhart for this months poster. We’re thrilled to be partnering with local organizations Studio Science and Sales Force Marketing Cloud this month. Coffee will be generously provided by Quills Coffee. (Give them a warm welcome to Indy!)

The details: Events are always free, registration opens the Monday (March 23rd) before the event at 11 am.

We look forward to seeing you on the 27th!

Many thanks to the lovely Anna Zimmerman for capturing our February Climate event.

Happy February!

This month's global CreativeMornings theme is Climate. We’re thrilled to have Jesse Kharbanda, Executive Director of the Hoosier Environmental Council, speaking at Keep Indianapolis Beautiful on February 20.

Jesse has focused HEC’s energies around four strategic initiatives: quality of life, clean energy, sustainable agriculture, and 21st century transportation. Jesse is passionate about building bridges, making the case for why environmental protection is integral to Indiana’s future prosperity, and getting people inspired about being environmental-minded citizens.
