What IS Calling All Creatives?

Calling All Creatives was originally a documentary short about visual artists and collaboration in Albuquerque. On this website, you can find information about it, behind-the-scenes footage, and a blog about Albuquerque creatives. Later, the concept grew beyond that, and this website has become a prototype for an online meeting ground for creatives looking to collaborate in Albuquerque.

 

The documentary concept was spearheaded by Olivia Lujan, the director and producer.  Dayna Diamond came on board to do the marketing and help with design, and she later crafted the prototype of the online community.

Olivia Lujan & The Origin

"For most of my life, I grew up in Albuquerque. I always hated it and needed to get out. It was just a dull, uninspiring environment. But after high school, I couldn't leave due to financial issues. So I began attending UNM Valencia, and my whole view on Albuquerque changed. My professors introduced me to the artistic community, lighting a spark in me. I began to fall in love with the city I grew up in. If I hadn't gone to college, I would never have experienced this, so my goal with 'Calling All Creatives' is to bring to light the amazing artistic community and culture Albuquerque has. It's something that needs to be shared."

 

Olivia Lujan is an Albuquerque-based designer and videographer.  She is the producer and director of the Calling All Creatives documentary short. More of her work can be seen at cutthroatdesign.com

Dayna Diamond & Artistic Passion

"Art, especially local art, is so important to me. Growing up in Albuquerque, I always found a lot of our rich culture finds its basis in the arts. From having the only BFA in Flamenco outside of Spain to the multiple arts-focused non-profits like Chatter, Albuquerque can certainly be described as an artistic hub, and that's something I love about it. So, when I heard about Olivia's concept for Calling All Creatives, I knew I had to get involved."

 

Dayna Diamond is a digital marketer.  She's came on board to do marketing for Calling All Creatives, and she helped to expand the concept beyond a documentary to instead prototyping a digital hub for creative connection. More of her work can be seen at daynadiamond.com
