The Creative Collective NYC’s process for selecting artists, entrepreneurs, creators, strategists, and community leaders for its “Creative Class” series is based on a meticulously curated team of cohorts. The Creative Collective NYC’s carefully selected team of cohorts — which goes through a variety of applications — carefully selects a group of individuals whose work reflects a deeply rooted understanding of culture, through lived, felt, and recorded real-time life experiences. 

Among this unique and carefully selected group of individuals for The Creative Collective NYC’s “2026 Creative Class,” you’ll find those taking notes and trusting the process, those driving culture forward and shaping the conversation, and creatives documenting culture in real time through art and innovation. We’re excited to announce that The Creative Collective NYC’s “2026 Creative Class” includes:

Kendra Austin: Creative + Founder, Pearl NYC

Wildin Pierrevil: Content Creator + Actor

Arlette + Bolia: Co-Founders, Pop The Balloon

Kayra Theodore: Hair Artist

Anania Williams: Creator + Performer

Teya Knapp: CEO, ASAFESPACEMENTOR + Mental Health Activist

The theme for this year's The Creative Collective NYC’s “2026 Creative Class” is Field Study — which encompasses the various forms of creativity as a practice of observation, discernment, and intention. This year’s theme centers on the art of paying attention to your surroundings and the world around you — by recording what matters and using that insight to shape what comes next.

Throughout the year, these amazing and carefully selected creatives, hand-picked by The Creative Collective NYC, will have the opportunity to share their processes, perspectives, and the questions guiding their work — the notes, drafts, and in-between moments that usually stay unseen. We invite you to check out The Creative Collective NYC’s full “2026 Creative Class” list of honorees by visiting the website theccnyc.com.
