Design Sacramento

Creativity Speaks is a program designed to celebrate local creatives, offer attendees a source of inspiration from creatives outside their industry, and strengthen Sacramento's creative community. The program manifests as live salon-style events and features traditional and non-traditional creatives to help draw a mixed audience and encourage intermingling between creative industries. Creativity Speaks is dedicated to equitable representation and a celebration of the diversity of creative thought. We host six Creativity Speaks events throughout the year and serve an average of 50 people per event.

Our Creative Internship Program provides semester-long internships to up to ten Design students at California State University, Sacramento (CSUS). Interns successfully conceptualized, designed, and produced deliverables for our Big Day of Giving and delivered two impactful projects, including Community Needs Assessment.

Our membership platform offers an online hub for our creative community, which shares their passion for their craft and offers support. Every member has access to our job board, resource library, and a connection to our creative community.
