After years of giving back, mentoring, and molding the next generation of creatives, you will witness a metamorphosis in motion as DDM commemorates a decade of becoming unmasked, unmuted, and unleashed; we will launch our 501(c)3 nonprofit, Culture Academy.
Culture Academy will exist to do one thing, create pathways for emerging creatives of color to use their talent to pursue careers in creative spaces beyond their imagination. You will meet the future of innovative design during our gala and know with confidence that tomorrow is here, today.
The funds raised during the weekend of festivities will support programming for young creatives at Culture Academy.
Please meet us at the intersection of culture, education, exposure, and opportunities to fulfill dreams for rising creators of color. Culture Academy ignites dreams, and we need partners like YOU to help fuel them! Join us as we #MeetTheMoment.
With your support, we will continue to Authentically. Impact. Culture. for years to come.
