Retrospective Pt. 010
Sometimes the most important creative moments happen away from the stage.
Collage City, presented by the San Antonio Association of Graphic Designers (SAAoGD), brought people back to something physical again — cutting, layering, building, experimenting together by hand.
The concept came directly from the SAAoGD team, and I want to give a real thank you to Josh, Reg, Andrew, and Zerk for bringing this to life and creating a space centered around community and creativity.
And the vibe around it all…
The Cloud Garden DJ sets curated by Zerk with La Luna, SAAB, Föezy, and Ease turned the space into something alive. Music echoing through the floor, people creating, conversations happening in corners, strangers becoming collaborators.
It felt soft. Open. Experimental.
Like people could actually breathe there for a second.
What I loved most was watching attendees slow down, sit together, laugh, create, and reconnect with making things again.
Just people building together.
And honestly… that’s a huge part of what The Creative Futures was always supposed to be.
Big. Real. Future.
