OUR VISION CreativeMornings/Boulder was born out of a deep love for our vibrant city. People who once left are now returning; drawn by the quality of life they help create. We aim to foster a melting pot of ideas, where creativity thrives, and the status quo is challenged. CreativeMornings Boulder envisions a vibrant and inclusive community where creativity flourishes, inspiring individuals to make a creative impact in their neighbourhoods and social communities, while honouring and integrating the rich cultural heritage of Indigenous peoples. We believe everyone is creative, and a creative life demands bravery, action, honesty, and hard work. CreativeMornings/Boulder is a space for everyone, at all stages of their lives and careers.

ABOUT THE TEAM Hello! I am Anna Bouw-Bolik, the enthusiastic host of the Boulder CreativeMornings chapter. As a multinational, with a background in community building and event management, I am dedicated to fostering a vibrant and inclusive creative community in Boulder. My passion is to connect people in a safe space, allowing them to live their creativity. I believe it is important to create spaces in the world where everyone feels welcome. My journey has taken me through various roles and experiences, all of which have equipped me with the skills and enthusiasm to lead this chapter. I am thrilled to bring together like-minded individuals who share a love for creativity and innovation. Let’s make Boulder shine together!

Alongside the incredibly talented local photographer Kevin Steele, as well as our amazing team members Liliane van Ruexleben, Hilary Brown, and Krista Villatoro, we created this video https://youtu.be/Hc_HtmH99eA?si=HOxhB5aNPwkMi1w2 as part of our application to launch a CreativeMornings chapter right here in Boulder. Let’s make Boulder shine!
