Design Geeks Rejoice! Creative Mornings Launches in LA
2010/11 Bobby Solomon | Kitsune Noir/The Fox Is Black from LosAngeles/CreativeMornings on Vimeo.
Design geeks can stop drooling over the monthly videos from Creative Mornings in New York and Zurich, wishing they could attend a live event and fill out their own witty name tags because Creative Mornings has launched in Los Angeles.
Creative Mornings was started two years ago in New York by Tina Roth Esienberg, known to design-o-philes as Swiss Miss. What started off as a monthly gathering of "creative types" has grown into a must-attend creative event with free tickets selling out a few hours after they're posted.
Support for LAist comes from
The Los Angeles Chapter of Creative Mornings is overseen by Jon Setzen, Creative Director at Something Massive, and was kicked off in October with a talk by GOOD Magazine at Ford & Ching downtown.
November featured Bobby Solomon, brilliant mind behind must-read design and culture blog The Fox is Black. The video of his delicious talk was just released and will give creative Angelenos a taste of what's to come in future Creative Mornings.
The speaker for the December event will be announced soon and you can follow LA/Creative Mornings on Twitter to be sure you don't miss a chance at a coveted spot.
From New York to Zurich to Los Angeles? We'll take it.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
