For years, they have been a steadfast champion and supporter of our business, providing us with invaluable economic development that has translated into real access to capital and consistent revenue.

We are incredibly grateful for the opportunities and support that the Creative Collective community has provided us, and we look forward to continuing this journey together.

Creative Collective is an amazing organization that helps to empower local artists and small businesses. They genuinely care about the community. The networking events that they put on are both fun and beneficial to members. The staff are incredible - they know members by name and are sincerly interested in getting to know the people, their businesses, and help come up with solutions to challenges as well as celebrate successes. We are so grateful to be a part of the Collective!!

Creative Collective is an amazing entity that embraces and celebrates creatives of all stripes and in any phase of their journey. The staff know each member individually and are great at introductions and finding just what you need or are looking for. The networking events are more like parties, a relaxed way to see old friends and meet new people. Creative Collective is an impressive machine that has helped my semi-creative business with lots of support, whether it be moral support or marketing support. Thank you for existing.

I've started and restarted this review so many times - it's hard to put into words how incredible and impactful Creative Collective is!! As an artist and a small business, the networking, programming, marketing, and support that CC provides is invaluable to me. Some of my most important professional relationships started at CC events! The city wide programming that they lead has been instrumental in fostering the creative landscape that I love about Salem so much. The entire team is hard working, dedicated, and passionate about their mission! From personalized direct support to big picture programming and events, I cannot imagine being a creative business in Salem without also being a member of Creative Collective, and I'm thankful every day for all of their hard work!!

The Creative Collective has been, and continues to be, the driving force behind my businesses success behind the scenes. From the beginning their innovative approach to creative business development has helped me find ways to translate my company's services to a wider community and they have helped me develop my network through their community leverage. They take time to understand me as an artists, my businesses role in the community as a whole and are always there to help me connect and innovate.

The Creative Collective is the best organization for connecting small businesses with the local creative community on the North Shore. They are great at developing opportunities that leverage the unique skills that their growing network contains. They are a nice group of people to work with as well!

Creative Salem provides valuable services to our city. By connecting creatives and facilitating creative projects, CS has imbued Salem with a vibrancy and energy that is unique to our community. As a jazz vocalist, I have booked paying gigs due solely to my connection with the Creative Salem network. As the co-founder of a non-profit historical organization, CS has provided me with marketing services and helped to spread the word about our mission. In a national political climate in which the importance of the arts and the humanities is belittled or denied, Creative Salem's services ensure that Salem maintains a creative economy that is absolutely essential to the health and well-being of our community.

Creative Collective continues to be an essential part of the vibrant growth of the North Shore's creative community in recent years. They work tirelessly to promote art and culture in the region, and their talent and resources have been so important for collaboration within the community. And they are amazing people to boot!
