Creativity isn’t reserved for artists—it’s a mindset that shapes how we lead, communicate, and solve problems every day.
For our April program, Christie Rogers (JWN 2008), JWN Cultural Arts Category Chair, Studio Potter & Instructor, has curated a unique opportunity for members to explore how creativity shows up across very different professional environments—and why it matters more than ever.
This program brings together dynamic leaders whose work relies on creativity in entirely different ways:
- Susan Masucci (JWN 2022), Founder and Principal of ruckus, will offer a fresh perspective on creativity—one that begins before the idea itself. She’ll explore how the most compelling stories don’t start with content, but with culture: whether people feel safe, trusted, and supported enough to bring their real thinking into the room. Her insights will challenge how we think about creativity—not just as output, but as something leaders actively create space for.
- Holly Keris (JWN 2019), J. Wayne & Delores Barr Weaver Chief Curator at the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens, will offer a behind-the-scenes look at how she interprets art, develops exhibitions, and shapes the stories the museum tells through its collections and programming.
- To bring the theme to life, Pixie Larizza (JWN 2015), Owner, Artist & Designer, Pixieglas, will lead a hands-on creative experience where participants will paint glassware—an approachable reminder that creativity doesn’t require perfection, only curiosity.
Through conversation, creative exploration, and connection with fellow members, this evening invites you to rethink creativity—not as a specialized skill, but as a powerful approach to leadership, work, and everyday problem-solving. This is a unique opportunity for twenty-five JWN members to experience creativity in action—across industries, perspectives, and disciplines.
BONUS: Attendees will also enjoy an exclusive first look inside ruckus’ new offices at Dennis + Ives, a beautifully restored historic building in Jacksonville’s Rail Yard District.
