CreativeMornings Tucson

Our theme for June is CURATE. It was chosen by our Orange County chapter in California, illustrated by Fred Villa, and is presented by Adobe.

Our Orange County chapter had this to say about the significance of this month’s theme:

“To us, curate is about perspective. In a world overflowing with information, content, ideas, and tools, the ability to curate—to choose, shape, and sequence—has become more powerful than simply knowing or creating. It’s no longer just about the outcome, but about crafting a thoughtful and meaningful experience that reflects a deeper creative vision.”

(Watch this video from our Orange County chapter for more on what curate means to them.)

You can curate your wardrobe, the perfect playlist, and your instagram grid. But every creative act is an exercise in curation. The writer picks which sentence stays and which gets cut. The designer chooses the ideal font out of thousands available. The photographer frames the right shot at the right time.

But curation is not just selection. It’s about attention. What do you let in? What do you choose to care about? Each of us is a curator of our own inner museum: a gallery of the influences we honor and the collection of ideas we pursue.

We live in a time of overwhelming abundance. Instead of obsessing over what looks good together, contemplate why your choices belong together. Distill your taste into a point of view that is uniquely yours. Then ruthlessly express it in your work and how you live your life.
