A Decade of Art. A Season of Giving

Celebrate the latest accolade of Kayenecha while helping Creative Nomads raise $5,000 by Giving Tuesday, December 1, to bring Baltimore families and neighbors together through art, music, and culture this winter.

For more than a decade, Kayenecha Daugherty has led Creative Nomads with a simple belief: everybody deserves access to the arts. Here in Baltimore, that belief looks like families making art side by side, neighbors painting their own public spaces, and local artists getting paid to share what they do best.

This year, Maryland Nonprofits named Kayenecha a Community Champion, and the University of Maryland, Baltimore recognized her with a JEDI Award. We’re proud to celebrate those honors and the years of work behind them.

The recognition is real. The resources haven’t always kept pace. An award can shine a light on the work. Your donation helps pay the people and cover the supplies that make it possible.

This Giving Tuesday, your gift supports two Creative Nomads programs:

The Creative Caroling Project brings neighbors of all ages together on Pennsylvania Avenue for caroling, crafts, hot drinks, and a little ugly sweater excellence.
Kwanzaa Virtual Family Paint gives children, caregivers, and elders a chance to celebrate Kwanzaa and make art together from home during the holiday break when isolation can take hold.

Give Kayenecha her flowers and celebrate A Decade of Art and A Season of Giving by donating to Creative Nomads. Make a gift today, then share this page with someone who believes families and community memebrs deserve more chances to create together. Help us reach $5,000 by December 1. And if we go past it? We’ll happily take the extra flowers.

Art Over Everything.
