This was chosen by our Orange County chapter in California, illustrated by Fred Villa, and is presented by Adobe.

Our Orange County chapter had this to say about the significance of this month’s theme:

“To us, curate is about perspective. In a world overflowing with information, content, ideas, and tools, the ability to curate—to choose, shape, and sequence—has become more powerful than simply knowing or creating. It’s no longer just about the outcome, but about crafting a thoughtful and meaningful experience that reflects a deeper creative vision.”

Watch this video from our Orange County chapter for more on what curate means to them.

You can curate your wardrobe, the perfect playlist, and your instagram grid. But every creative act is an exercise in curation. The writer picks which sentence stays and which gets cut. The designer chooses the ideal font out of thousands available. The photographer frames the right shot at the right time.

But curation is not just selection. It’s about attention. What do you let in? What do you choose to care about? Each of us is a curator of our own inner museum: a gallery of the influences we honor and the collection of ideas we pursue.

We live in a time of overwhelming abundance. Instead of obsessing over what looks good together, contemplate why your choices belong together. Distill your taste into a point of view that is uniquely yours. Then ruthlessly express it in your work and how you live your life.

Do you believe in bold ideas, warm coffee, and the magic that happens when creative humans gather before 9AM? Then we want you in our corner.

This marks the first time we have ever worked with a global partner to select a monthly theme. Because at CreativeMornings, we believe everyone is creative—and Adobe couldn’t agree more.

Together, we’re bringing you the motivation and accountability you need to bring your ideas to life. Release Day on May 29th is when we all finally share that special thing we’ve been working on!

Create is about making something. Release Day is about sharing it with the world.

Local speaker Monica S. Downen is a creative entrepreneur, leadership coach, and Community Programs Manager at Town & Country Market in Poulsbo. She spent nearly two decades building and leading a beloved community café that became known as much for how it felt as for what it served, creating not just food, but a place where her team and customer family alike felt seen, nourished, and at ease. It was there she learned that culture is something you cook up daily, not just something you talk about. Before that, she spent 15 years as a Police Dispatcher with the King County Sheriff’s Office, where she learned the quiet art of staying calm in the midst of chaos. Today, through her work with Wild Abandon, she helps individuals and organizations read the tide of change, reconnect to their inner knowing, and move forward with clarity and care. Her work blends practical guidance with somatic awareness, grounded leadership, and a deep respect for the small, often overlooked moments where real change begins.
