CreativeMornings PKX Celebrates 10 Years!

2025 marked our tenth year of programming as the PKX Chapter of CreativeMornings, and we were honored by the City of Portsmouth with a Proclamation!

The Proclamation reads:

Whereas: Ten years ago, a small group of volunteers gathered in the spirit of curiosity, connection, and community to launch the Portsmouth, Kittery, and Beyond or PKX chapter of CreativeMornings with the belief that everyone is creative and everyone is welcome; and

Whereas: Over the past decade, this chapter has grown into a vibrant and inclusive community, welcoming thousands of individuals from all walks of life including designers, artists, entrepreneurs, educators, raconteurs, and dreamers, who come together each month to share ideas, inspire one another, and build lasting relationships; and

Whereas: PKX has served as a platform for over 100 local speakers to share their personal stories, creative journeys, and bold visions, fostering empathy, understanding, and a deeper appreciation for the diverse voices that shape the Seacoast; and

Whereas: PKX has consistently embodied the values of generosity, curiosity, and collaboration, offering free events that celebrate creativity not as a luxury, but as a fundamental human trait that strengthens communities and drives positive change; and

Whereas: The collective energy of this community has sparked new projects, partnerships, and friendships, and has helped make the Seacoast a more connected, compassionate, and creatively courageous place to live and work.

Now, therefore, I, Deaglan McEachern, Mayor of the City of Portsmouth, on behalf of the members of the City Council and citizens of Portsmouth, do hereby proclaim November 17, 2025 in Portsmouth as CreativeMornings PKX Day, in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the CreativeMornings PKX chapter, and in recognition of its enduring commitment to creativity, community, and the power of connection. May this milestone serve as a reminder of what is possible when people come together with open minds, generous hearts, and a share belief in the beauty of ideas. Hugs and high fives to you all, and let us continue to gather, listen, create, and grow together.

We are humbled to have received this honor and look forward to continuing to do great work in the Portsmouth/Kittery/X community in 2026 and beyond!
