Thank You, Izanami! 💛
We are so grateful to Izanami at Ten Thousand Waves for hosting our annual Dine Out for a Change once again. Your generosity and continued support help make Creative Santa Fe’s work possible, and we couldn’t be more thankful.

These moments remind us how powerful it is to come together around a table and invest in the creative spirit of our city.
We look forward to seeing you at our next Dine Out for a Change and at future Creative Santa Fe community events. Until then, thank you for being part of our community. ✨

What is it about the color green that captures our imagination? 💚
At PechaKucha Night GREEN, one presenter explored the stories, emotions, and connections hidden within a single color—reminding us that inspiration can be found in the simplest things.
PechaKucha Night celebrates fast-paced storytelling with 20 slides shown for 20 seconds each, giving local creatives and changemakers just 6 minutes and 40 seconds to share their ideas, passions, and experiences.

Tim Gjavenis, founder of BrainPrompt, challenged the way we think about AI at the Beyond Profit Pitch Competition.
Most businesses live inside the founder’s head, and without that context, AI can’t truly help or scale. BrainPrompt is changing that by teaching businesses how to train AI to think like a partner, not just act like a search engine.
Because real impact comes when AI actually understands your business.
What if your business idea could make a real difference?
Join Ron Dimon and the University of New Mexico Center for Responsible Entrepreneurship for the 2026 UNM CRE Pre-Accelerator Workshop on Saturday, July 25 at the New Mexico Innovation Hub.

Before the stories began and before the audience took their seats, guests were welcomed with a beautiful flower blessing offered by Jean Paul Granillo. 🌸✨
This thoughtful gesture invited everyone to arrive fully present and connected to the evening ahead. One by one, attendees received a flower and a moment of intention—a reminder that community is built through small acts of care, generosity, and belonging.
It was a beautiful way to begin PechaKucha Night Santa Fe and set the tone for an evening rooted in connection, reflection, and shared experience.
Thank you, Jean Paul, for helping create such a meaningful welcome for our community. 💚

We are so lucky to call Cafecito our unofficial office, and now we get to take it outside. ✨
A place where great things happen, where ideas come to life over incredible food, and where creativity flows even more freely under the open sky. Sunlight, fresh air, and that same beautiful energy we love so much.
Thank you, Cafecito, for giving Creative Santa Fe a space—inside and out, where inspiration thrives. 🌿☀️

A special thank you to Jean Paul Granillo for opening PechaKucha Night Santa Fe with a beautiful community blessing. ✨💚
Before a single story was told, Jean Paul invited us to pause, breathe, and remember why we gather.
His words reminded us that community is something we create together—that every person in the room contributes to the experience, and that storytelling has the power to connect us across differences, generations, and lived experiences.
The blessing set the tone for the evening: one rooted in gratitude, openness, curiosity, and care. It created space for vulnerability, laughter, reflection, and genuine connection.
Thank you, Jean Paul, for helping us begin the night with intention and heart. Your presence was a gift, and your words stayed with us long after the evening ended. 💚
