Breaking Bread was an intimate dinner series hosted by Creative Nestlings, Merit Art Collective, and iQHAWE Magazine, bringing together creatives from diverse industries and backgrounds to share stories, forge connections, and build a sense of community.
Over a shared meal, participants engaged in guided discussions and networking, exploring the intersection of independent practice and collective growth while finding ways to support each other’s success. Rooted in empathy, inclusivity, and reciprocity, Breaking Bread aimed to strengthen the creative ecosystem—one dinner at a time.
The gatherings centered around the theme Creative Community – Love the Work / Work the Love, providing an open and inclusive space for sharing both personal and professional experiences while collectively reflecting on the state of our creative community.
