About us
The Creative Mind’s purpose is to give artists an opportunity to showcase their work and network within a safe creative environment. We aspire to inspire.
The Creative Mind is an Art Exhibition that was first hosted in Vaughan, Ontario in 2023. Co-founders, Madeline Rose Fiore and Rebekah Rizzo. Together they developed The Creative Mind when working on a short film together. Through it they recognized the importance of having a creative community to help lead and inspire each other. The Creative Mind originated from believing in the power of storytelling beyond traditional labels like writers, photographers, directors and visual artists. They strive to inspire creativity and share diverse art styles through this event.
Our mission is to provide a platform for artists to showcase their talent and courageously share their work alongside others. We aim to inspire and uplift others through our passion and creativity, knowing that if we can ignite the spark of inspiration in at least one person, our efforts are meaningful and worthwhile. The Creative Mind
Every year, The Creative Mind takes on a new theme, bringing fresh energy and a unique vibe to each event.
We collaborate with local artists to create custom installations and interactive moments that make every edition one-of-a-kind. No two years are the same, and that’s how we like it
The Creative Mind isn’t just an art show — it’s a full-sensory experience designed to spark inspiration. Since 2023, we’ve gone beyond the typical gallery wall to create a space where both artists and attendees step into the mindset of a creative for one unforgettable night.
With bold visuals, immersive installations, live performances, and a deeply supportive community, we’re building more than an event — we’re building a movement that grows every year.
