Looking for creative communities to get involved in Buffalo NY?

Here at Create it Collective, we’re huge on the ‘Community over Competition’ motto. We’re all just trying to find what sparks joy, get creative, and ultimately do what we love and create a life that we’re stoked about.

Why join a creative community?

Joining a local creative community definitely has its benefits. You get to meet awesome like-minded creatives, get inspired, stay motivated, learn from others, create friendships, and get support from people who just ‘get it’.

Depending on what your interests are, there are quite a few local options that you can take advantage of.

Here are some of our favorites:

Rising Tide Society:

This is a world-wide creative community, but they have local chapters that host in-person meetups, commonly referred to as Tuesdays Together.

You can join the local Buffalo Rising Tide Society Facebook group for specific local events and meetups.

Perfect for:

  • Female Creative Business Owners
  • Creators of all levels

Learn more about the RTS community on their website.

Buffalo Boss Babes:

Buffalo Boss Babes started off as a blog + social media feed to inspire and feature women in Buffalo, NY. They’ve recently expanded to hosting meetup events, and this past year they held their first retreat.

Perfect for:

  • Female Business Owners

Solis:

Solis is a bi-monthly pop-up event created at the intersection of art, business, and entertainment.

Each meetup, creatives get together to design and bring installations to life. Their multi-sensory sets include professionally styled models, specifically curated backdrops, specialty vendors, and more.

And the coolest part is that for the second half of the event, the installation sets are opened up to everyone in attendance to step up and have their photo taken and become a part of Solis!

Perfect for:

  • Models
  • Makeup Artists
  • Photographers of all levels

Scottiebe Shootouts

Scottiebe Shootouts is a meet-up of photographers of all levels. Each shootout focuses on one or more styled shoots with curated couples/models to help photographers curate visual magic from their own perspective.

But these meetups are more than just “getting the shot.” They were put together to help like-minded creatives connect with each other, help each other, and learn from each other.

Perfect for:

  • Photographers of all levels
