Creative PlaceMakers seeks to connect people, businesses and institutions that support intentional ways to hold up creativity, sustainability and diversity as core values in how they operate.  The ABCD method (Asset Based Community Development) insures that these values thrive from the ground up, rather than from outsider initiatives.

This directory aims to connect people locally and internationally, helping both neighbors and travelers find each other. Launched in October 2024, we are still “learning the ropes” and will work on making it as inclusive as possible while confining our relevance to what is known as “The Arts”.  Feedback is welcome as we navigate this huge endeavor!

In time, we will have a private membership area where people can share their projects and look for support.  We will also have a public events calendar.  But, one thing at a time.  We are using a complex WordPress theme that also has loads of options, so be patient and we will get there.

Please read the About page and the Get Listed page and if you like what we are doing, join us!  This directory is about passions, not necessarily businesses.  For example, a nurse who is a quilter in her spare time is welcome here.  Listings are held for approval. We will inform you if we feel that your listing needs editing or is not the right fit for this community.

Artizan Made is our sister site, a collective on online shops selling high quality handmade products, focused on eco-fashion and home décor.  We welcome new applications, especially shops that have sustainable practices.  Both sites connect to each other.
