WELCOME

Thank you for being part of this exciting journey! Whether you’ve attended an event, followed our story, or supported us from afar, you’ve helped shape the vibrant creative community we’re building.

Since the launch of our first Create What You Crave event in 2023, we’ve hosted several more events and we’re just getting started!

We’re thrilled to announce that Create What You Crave is now officially a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. This milestone opens up even more opportunities to champion the arts, bring people together, and inspire creative expression.

Second Saturday Socials

A new take on Second Saturday Gallery Walks in the Arts & Design District

Carmel’s Arts & Design District has been a hub for creativity for 15 years. Its vibrant galleries, businesses, and arts community—nominated for Best Arts District—have come to life through the gallery walks. We’re continuing that energy with a fresh way to celebrate the arts, support local businesses, and connect with fellow arts lovers.

What to Expect:

Galleries & Businesses: Share your Second Saturday specials, and we’ll help spread the word!
Creatives & Art Lovers: Explore, engage, and support the district while enjoying an evening of art and community.
Fun & Interactive: Prizes, challenges, and special activities each month.

We’ll be gathering at a different location in the district each month to socialize, connect, and celebrate Carmel’s creative heartbeat.

It's a free event, but RSVP to show your support and know we can expect your attendance!
