Glow-Frame Creates a YMCA-Style Hub for Creatives
The Glow-Frame Initiative opens its Creative Campus — a community home for artists, filmmakers, and emerging talent, built on the same principle that has supported athletes for generations.
PHOENIX, AZ —
The Glow-Frame Initiative invites the community to celebrate the grand opening of its new studio and creative headquarters at 3811 N. 24th St., Phoenix, AZ 85016, with a special screening of The Darrell Show. The event will take place on Saturday, September 26, from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., welcoming guests for an afternoon and evening of storytelling, networking, community engagement, and a first look inside Glow-Frame's new creative home.
More than a production studio, the new space serves as a creative hub where aspiring and established creatives can connect, collaborate, develop their skills, and access hands-on training, memberships, workshops, productions, and industry opportunities designed to help turn creativepassions into sustainable careers.
“I saw a need to create a space for creatives similar to what the Boys & Girls Club and YMCA
have provided for athletes.”
— Irin Daniels, Founder, The Glow-Frame Initiative
Throughout the event, attendees will enjoy multiple screenings of a new episode of The Darrell Show, featuring Rachel Paul of ABC's Extreme Weight Loss. During the episode, Paul sits downwith Darrell Cunningham for a deeply personal conversation about her addiction — her journey, the struggles behind the transformation, and the parts of her story viewers never got to see. Following each screening, Darrell J. Cunningham joins guests live for an exclusive behind-the-scenes conversation about the episode.
In addition to the screenings, guests can tour Glow-Frame's new production facility, meet industry professionals, and learn about the organization's growing membership opportunities and educational programs. The Glow-Frame Creative Campus will also house the Ivory Strong Foundation, an organization dedicated to empowering youth and veterans through education, arts, and therapeutic recreation. Their focus on the arts as a tool for healing and growth strengthens Glow-Frame's commitment to creative access and community impact.
