"Hello, My Name Is"

You're invited to a night of connection and innovation at The Local Archive: Creative Connection Night. Join us on January 21, 2026, from 6 to 9 PM for an inspiring evening designed for the creative souls of Fort Wayne. Our community is teeming with talent, yet we seldom come together under one roof. It’s time to change that.

“Hello, My Name Is” is a warm, inviting evening crafted for creatives of all kinds... whether you’re a photographer, filmmaker, designer, writer, musician, performer, marketer, entrepreneur, or imaginative thinker, this night is for you. Created by creative entrepreneurs for creative entrepreneurs, this event promises to be a wellspring of inspiration and collaboration.

Why You Should Attend:

• Network Intentionally: Forge meaningful connections with like-minded individuals.

• Pitch Your Brand or Idea: Share your vision with a supportive audience.

• Access Creative Resources: Discover new tools and opportunities to elevate your work.

• Create Content: Bring your camera or phone to capture the evening's magic and generate content for your brand.

• Envision Fort Wayne’s Creative Future: Engage in brainstorming sessions about our community’s potential.
  

Our studio will be fully open: styled, lit, and buzzing with energy. It's a place where creativity comes alive, designed to help you connect, collaborate, and dream.

This gathering is so much more than a networking night; it’s a launchpad. We aim to unite Fort Wayne’s creative minds to explore a vital question: What could we achieve if we aligned our talents, resources, and visions?
