Creativity grows in community.

Karnelian creates programs and experiences that give creatives opportunities to learn, connect, make, and experience creative work together. From hands-on development programs to conversations, cultural outings, and creative gatherings, our programming is designed to create more opportunities for people to participate in—and contribute to—the creative economy. Whether you're looking to develop your skills, meet other creatives, experience something new, or simply spend more time around creative people and ideas, there's a place for you here.
