5 Places for Creatives in Indy

Our city is full of creatives and it shows. Check out these 5 creative offerings next time you are looking to be creatively inspired.

Creative Mornings

Creative Mornings events are held around the globe and we are lucky to have an Indianapolis chapter. Starting around 8:30 am, audience members are invited to a location around the city to learn from and be inspired by a chosen presenter. There are monthly themes such as “Curiosity” and “Movement” and presentations designed to ignite your creativity. Break the ice by grabbing a free cup of coffee and breakfast treats while connecting with fellow creatives in the city.

1 Million Cups

If you are an entrepreneur or want to learn from other creative entrepreneurs in the city, this weekly event is for you. Audience members can grab a cup of coffee and listen to local entrepreneurs share about themselves and the work that they do. Afterward, the floor will be open for Q+A to allow attending community members learn how they can assist or support the entrepreneur on stage. If you are an entrepreneur with a company less than 5 years old, you can apply to be a presenter!

Presentations are held each week at The Speak Easy at 8:00 am and everyone is welcome.

You can tour the space and apply for a membership if you want to take advantage of private studios, conference rooms, the main space with individual booths, and lastly, a stunning garden space. Be sure to take advantage of their open work days and pop-up events hosted at Draft Creative so you can be inspired by the space and community built for creatives, by creatives.
