About this Event
Creative Collective's biggest celebration of the Winter just got even bigger.
This February, we're joining forces with Salem Rotary for The Mixer—where our annual winter celebration becomes something extraordinary. Two organizations, one amazing party, and the kind of evening that blurs the line between gathering, community, and networking in the best possible way.
If you've been to a Creative Collective event, you know what we do. If you haven't, you're in for something special.

The Evening:
🎠Entertainment & Engagement Activities - Interactive experiences woven throughout the night (because standing around talking is not our style)
🏆 Awards Presentation - Celebrating five community builders who show what's possible when creative and service sectors come together
📸 Photo Experience with 360 Fiesta Photobooth- Our immersive photo backdrop that's equal parts whimsy and wow.
🤝 Real Connection - The kind of networking that doesn't feel like networking—facilitated moments, organic conversations, and genuine community building
🍽️ Appetizers & Delicious Treats - The Hawthorne Hotel is bringing their A-game (cash bar available)
🎵 Premium Production - Lighting, sound, and atmosphere that transforms the Grand Ballroom into something magical
Who's Coming:
Creative Collective members who wouldn't miss this for anything, Salem Rotary members ready to celebrate, and new faces from across Salem's business and creative communities. Entrepreneurs, artists, civic leaders, developers, changemakers—everyone who believes collaboration beats competition.
Why This Matters:
Last year's celebration was our biggest yet. This year, we're not just going bigger—we're going deeper. This is what happens when Salem's creative economy and community service organizations decide to build something together. It's a winter gathering that proves what we already know: the best things happen when we show up for each other.
Your $25 ticket includes admission, all entertainment and activities, appetizers and treats, plus access to the kind of evening that reminds you why Salem's creative and civic community is unlike anywhere else.
