Creative Planning for 2026 (Welcome to Creative Hubs-DMV)

Looking for a creative community to bounce ideas off of, events that deepen your artistic spirit, and opportunities to rejuvenate as you grow your craft or business?

Creative Hub–DMV is the place for you.

This group supports creatives, entrepreneurs, and small business owners in finding nourishment, clarity, and momentum. Together, we’ll explore what holds us back from scaling the creative lives and businesses we want, identify pathways for growth, and create space to rest, recharge, and refocus.

Our inaugural gathering is part mixer, part creative planning session. You’ll meet fellow local creators, make beneficial connections, and dive into a guided 2026 preparation activity to help you step boldly into the year ahead.

Values we hold: authenticity, collaboration, mutual benefit, taking action today for the future we want, and collective advancement.
