The Hub, as we all have come to know and love, is an amazing platform to meet driven creatives who inspire you to get out there and keep producing content no matter what. The “search creatives” tab allows you to customize your search for a particular person, from location to profession, from the number of followers to the creator’s hair color. It’s a wonderful tool and can be used to everyone’s advantage.

The biggest and artsiest town on the prairie. Minneapolis is happy in every season. There’s always something to do, an art festival to attend, and a rowdy rock club to visit in the evening.
