What New Creatives Is

New Creatives is a studio for the kind of work that cannot be done by repairing what already exists. We look at the systems that shape daily life — how we eat, how we heal, how we handle money, how we tell stories, how we relate to one another — and instead of arguing with them, we build a working alternative you can walk into.

We begin by listening deeply: to what we know to be true within ourselves, and to what we know to be true in the collective. From that listening comes intention, and from intention everything else follows. The result is not a theory or a someday. It is a place, a community, and a body of work that people can contribute to and be changed by.

New Creatives is the workshop. The projects are the work.

What We Are Building

Every New Creatives project is a living example — real people, a real place, and a real economy — that proves a better way is possible today. This is the first.

TrueNorth Projects

Six domains. One intention. Food · Medicine · Money · Media · Relationships · Positive Futures.

A community and creative enterprise on Abbot Kinney Boulevard, built from the inside out. TrueNorth is a living statement about what becomes possible when people come together from a good place — a community that serves the planet and mankind, organized around the six domains where daily life is actually lived.

Read the manifesto, meet the domains, and see how you can take part.

The Compass

Every project we build follows the same navigational arc. Intention is not decoration at the top of the page — it is how we find our way. From intention flow values; values shape the first projects; projects mature into services the community can depend on; and services open onto opportunities no one could have named at the start.

Intention
Why this exists, and what “better” actually means.
II
Values
How we read the terrain and make decisions.
III
Projects
The first tangible things we build together.
IV
Services
What the community can depend on every day.
V
Opportunities
The future that opens once the better way is proven.

Worst case, we build something beautiful for ourselves. Best case, we make a statement to mankind — an open-source example the world can see, and act on, today.
