Congratulations to Martin Schoeller for receiving the Choose Creativity Award for Curious Photography. In the words of Jeff Koons, “What sets Martin apart is his highly Democratic approach using the same methods to portray subjects spanning from celebrities to the marginalized, inviting us to see the humanity in everyone. Martin’s work inspires, connects and communicates meaning and a sense of optimism.” Video Portrait of Martin Schoeller for Curious Photography: https://lnkd.in/eBAzGgJs Martin Schoeller presented by Jeff Koons at the CCAS: https://lnkd.in/erjkQ7UP Martin Schoeller, LLC , Jeff Koons, LLC

Congratulations to Carla Zakhem-Hassan of JPMorganChase for receiving the Choose Creativity Award for Authentic Leadership. Carla’s remarks were very powerful that evening. “I talk about my highs and my lows professionally and what I’ve noticed as I’ve shared those stories is that while they shape us, they don’t make us. It’s how we use those experiences to learn, to grow, to adapt, that make us who we are. In my life, I will tell you there’s no better example of that than my parents who have shown me how to turn hardship into possibility, how to turn pain into compassion, how to turn hate into understanding.” Video Portrait of Carla Hassan for Authentic Leadership: https://lnkd.in/g2TY379A Carla Hassan presented by Gary Vaynerchuk at the CCAs: https://lnkd.in/gZ27kxZb

Thank you for your kinds words, Alexandria Brown. So glad you left the Choose Creativity Awards feeling inspired!

What a night!!! Thank you to all of you who attended the wildly fun and inspiring Choose Creativity Awards. We were serious when we said, “Creativity is fun!!!” Such epic speeches and videos celebrating our honorees, our mission and our impact. Check out (and share) the new video we premiered last night about our work in East Harlem. As Marina and Kevin said, our donors support roughly 90% of the cost to bring our curriculum to a school. If you gave last night, we are beyond grateful. If you couldn’t make it, you can still help!
