At The Creative Outlet, we believe creativity is a pathway to connection, self discovery, and community growth. This night is a reflection of that mission.

Join us as we spotlight Jaquies and her photography, highlighting not just her work, but the power of storytelling through a creative lens ✨📸

This experience is designed to bring people together. Creatives, supporters, and community members will have space to connect, be inspired, and pour into one another. Through art, we create space for expression. Through community, we build impact.

Pull up, bring your energy, and stay for the connection 💕

Built By Her was nothing short of amazing. 🤍✨

We had a full house.

A room filled with women building, creating, and showing up for themselves and each other. The energy, the conversations, the laughter, the support… it was everything we envisioned and more. This is what community looks like. This is what The Creative Outlet is all about.

We saw real engagement — connections being made, businesses being supported, and women being celebrated in real time. Moments like this remind us why spaces like Built By Her are so important.

We’re honored to share that The Creative Outlet has been selected for the Digital Equity Impact Cohort in partnership with Cook County Government.

This opportunity is more than recognition, it’s alignment. It affirms the work we’ve been building to ensure that creativity, access, and opportunity are not limited by circumstance.

Being part of this cohort means we’ll be able to deepen our impact by:
• Expanding access to digital tools and resources in underserved communities
• Strengthening creative programming that builds both skill and confidence
• Bridging the gap between imagination and opportunity through technology

At The Creative Outlet, we believe that creativity creates retention and imagination solves the problem. This cohort allows us to continue doing just that, and at a higher level, with greater reach, and alongside leaders committed to equity and innovation.

Thank you for seeing the vision. We’re just getting started. ✨

Cook County Government 🖤
