welcome to our directory of creative passions!

This directory aims to make it easy for people and organizations to find shared creative passions both locally and internationally. You do not have to have a business to join us. You just have to want to connect to other people who might share a similar interest. We believe that creativity, diversity and sustainability make a place interesting and healthy. They are valuable assets that are not adequately represented in the decision making processes of how our neighborhoods and cities are designed, what our children learn in school, and where money is budgeted in public life. Mapping these creative passions can help illustrate these assets and encourage collective planning and participation. Travelers will also find our directory useful as they plan their trips.

The categories below are based on traditional ways the media talks about the arts with top and sub categories. If you see an arrow at the bottom of the category, that means that there are subcategories below it. You can also hover over "Creatives" in the menu bar to see them.

When you set up your listing, you will be able to pick six categories and six tags that will show up on the map. Explore the categories and try to pick from different groupings so that you show up on the map in different ways.

The tags are useful for organizations or niches that are not specific in the categories. This list will change over time. You are welcome to suggest tags that you would like added and we'll delete others if there is no interest. Too many categories or tags will just confuse people so we will try to keep to groupings that make sense.

The internet, Smartphones, Mobile devices, Video games, Comic books, Podcasts, Music, Blogs, and Newspaper articles.

The term “new media” became popular in the 1990s as a way to describe the rise of interactive CD-ROMs for entertainment and education. New media is different from traditional media like television and newspapers.

New media can also refer to a field of study that combines computer science, visual arts, culture, history, and sciences. New media graduates can work in a variety of fields, including graphic design, film, education, and healthcare.

New media can also be used as a medium for artists to explore topics like identity and representation. For example, Canadian artist Kent Monkman uses new media to explore themes of gender, identity, activism, and colonization.
