Grow Your Art Skills With The CreateHubs Storytelling Content Library

There a collage of seven different photos. In the center is a long rectangular photo of six artists of color sitting in chairs in a line, talking with each other. There is a light tan background behind them. The other six photos making up the collage are close ups of the six presenters sitting together.

The Birmingham CreateHubs Storytelling Conference was a virtual conference that occurred in July 2022, and we are excited to share this exclusive content with our patrons. 

The goal of this conference was to bring together non-profit organizations, youth clubs, businesses, families, educators, and more to support the countless number of creative minds that exist without our communities and cultures.

Creators came together to collaborate, share ideas, learn, and build together, setting the stage to continue the work being done in making sure historically underserved and marginalized communities not only have equal opportunities, but a chance to be exceptional without the continuous racial, socioeconomic, and geographical barriers that still impede generations of dreamers.

The logo for CreateHubs. It is the word "CreateHubs" in all capitals, big blue lettering. The C is designed to look like an arrow pointing with a color wheel in the middle of the C.

This conference has been recorded and the videos are available to view for free. Below is a breakdown of the classes and a link to access the recordings:
