Florida Creatives is, first and foremost, a networking group. People of all disciplines and all levels of experience are invited to come together to enrich their creative experience, learn from each other, and gain inspiration in a social environment. The immediate benefits of such a group are often collaboration, employment opportunities and creative partnerships, with fringe benefits being innumerable. One purpose of the Florida Creatives website is to highlight some of those relationships and partnerships through blogging and podcasting, while also providing an online discussion place in between meetings.

One way we plan to achieve our mission of creating a statewide community is through a few centralized gatherings, whether they are conventions, classes, barbecues, festivals or all of the above. Such an event may be hosted by the founding chapter in Orlando or any of the local chapters in other parts of the state. The point is to take these strong local communities and create an environment for cross-pollination to occur. While the Internet makes such connections possible, this group exists because of the undeniable connection made by seeing and speaking to a like-minded person face-to-face. When such an event takes place, people from all over the world will be invited, as our own community is but one part of a global community of creatives.
