About us
The Creative Mind’s purpose is to give artists an opportunity to showcase their work and network within a safe creative environment. We aspire to inspire.
The Creative Mind is an Art Exhibition that was first hosted in Vaughan, Ontario in 2023. Co-founders, Madeline Rose Fiore and Rebekah Rizzo. Together they developed The Creative Mind when working on a short film together. Through it they recognized the importance of having a creative community to help lead and inspire each other. The Creative Mind originated from believing in the power of storytelling beyond traditional labels like writers, photographers, directors and visual artists. They strive to inspire creativity and share diverse art styles through this event.
Our mission is to provide a platform for artists to showcase their talent and courageously share their work alongside others. We aim to inspire and uplift others through our passion and creativity, knowing that if we can ignite the spark of inspiration in at least one person, our efforts are meaningful and worthwhile.

The Creative Mind
Last year was a two-night event which showcased various types of artists and their work. The event had performances such as musical artists, a fashion show and a DJ to keep the evening flowing.
The co-founders also created immersive installations for guests to enjoy throughout the evening, which consisted of a short film and photo-ops.
The first Creative Mind event in 2023 was successful in hosting over 250 attendees throughout both nights. This year, we hope to immerse our guest further by inviting more artists to participate, more musical guests and more interactive installations with the help of our community sponsors and partnerships.
