Every once in a while we have the good fortune of working on a project that we feel truly matters, a project that we’ll still be thinking about years from now. Maybe even something we can imagine telling our grandkids about – surely you’ve had moments like that where something you did in your professional life really mattered?

Ariana Abedini

It’s actually two – if I am allowed to share more than one. The first one is something I started right after the pandemic outbreak and it’s titled “I CAN PLAY THAT TOO”. It is a series of collaborative piano covers, initially online, which was created in an effort to unite pianists from all over the world. In these episodes, pianists play different parts of the same piece. Read more>>

I always find all projects I do meaningful, but I would specifically like to mention two very meaningful projects. The first project is what I am working on right now, my first full length Jazz Album. As a child, music was my life and I performed and studied music since I was a very young girl, but it wasn’t until my late teens that I was introduced to jazz. Read more>>

Tyric Bacon

That would have be the project I’m currently working on. It’s my first short film titled “A Tale of Blood and Magic.” I chose this as my most meaningful project because of how much its changed me as a person. While working on this project, I’ve had to face my flaws and recognize how I sometimes get in my own way. I’ve had to work through feelings of self-doubt. Read more>>

Ahn Hee Strain

Last year was my first real year trying to be a full time artist. I had smaller goals to achieve and one was to apply for a group showcase to take a small baby step into the artist world. The year started slow however in May I was accepted to my first group showcase called, “Rituals”. AAPI artists were asked to interpret the word and meaning as we see fit. Read more>>

One of the most meaningful projects I’ve worked on recently is the writing, producing and releasing of my debut “Essence EP” and “Essence Remixed EP” under my artist name Dream Tonic (found on all streaming platforms and at dreamtonicmusic.com). Read more>>

Megan Williams

Writing and self publishing our first childrens book has been one of the most meaningful projects from ArtsyBlue. The idea came about from a bedtime story, I was very intentional about making Melia read a book every night before bed, even more so after she was diagnosed with mild dyslexia. We were always in search of new books that would keep her interest and be on her reading level, so she could enjoy the process of reading. I was honestly waiting on that spark to ignite. Read more>>

The most meaningful comedy project I’ve worked on is Boulder Comedy Festival. The idea came from seeing a real lack of diversity and women in comedy shows and festivals. I always try to use creativity to address Issues or things I think could be done better. Years ago I saw a lack of diversity in comedy, so I created a show called token straight white dude, with only had one straight white male comic each month, allowing the remaining spots to showcase diversity.

Robenson Lauvince

The most meaningful project I’ve worked on thus far has been “July 7.” It was such a turning point in my career as a director and a storyteller because, for the first time, I was not telling a story for my people. I was telling a story of my people, of me. A story that is still an open case that the Haitian people will probably never get closure on. Read more>>

Peter Xifaras

The most meaningful project to date is ‘Children of Conflict’ – a project for which I composed the music, mixed the recording and produced the album. It is a contemporary work for social justice to bring attention to the plight of ‘children of conflict’ around the globe. It is comprised of six short movements: Proloque, Father’s Lament, Lost-Innocence, Desolation, Mother’s Lament & Epilogue. Each movement is recorded in a 4K music-video that plays an integral role in reinforcing the music’s message: Read more>>

Teri Elliott

The most meaningful project we have started at MELT. has been creating wax inserts that are custom made to fit inside our concrete vessels. Instead of discarding the vessel when your candle melts away, as you would with most candles, you can purchase a wax insert. Read more>>

Eric & Melanie Gross

We do a lot of custom work which we love doing. Working with customers is very satisfying, because it is not a Grossarosa2 project; it is our project, our creativity, our likes; we just put it all together for them. The best ones are customers that have a concept, but are not sure exactly how to execute it. We are not just making tables, wall décor, charcuterie boards are making new family heirlooms that will hopefully be passed down from generation to generation. Read more>>

Tara Wolfe

I’ve had the pleasure of working on some truly special plays and performances With our theater company, we always do projects that tie into something important, whether that be culturally, politically, or socially. The most meaningful for me was a piece called You Know Me. For it, I interviewed six volunteers who shared stories about abortion services they had received, and we turned those interviews into monologues. Read more>>

Megan Rivkin

As a jewelry designer, I am almost always making gifts for my clients to give to someone special. Sometimes it’s a present to help remember the recently deceased. I’ve incorporated their handwriting on numerous pieces; usually their signature or a special saying. Whether I knew them or not, it’s an emotional experience for me. There is so much life and personality in someone’s handwriting. Read more>>

Tiffany Jenkins

Zephyr Heart is my first full project (EP) and I worked so hard on it emotions poured out in my songs. Zephyr Heart is an EP that tells my story that shows what I’ve been through. I love the fact it connects to people and they understand that’s why it’s so meaningful to me. To know I touched people’s hearts it makes me feel amazing. Read more>>

Melissa Civil

The most meaningful project I have worked on has been the one that is unfinished. Ha. I want to tell you which one, but that wouldn’t be integritous to what I believe success is and what it takes to be truly successful. One day, as a youth, I can’t remember the age, I was in church and the pastor said “raise your hand if you know your going to heaven.” Read more>>

Emmy Shanley

Throughout the past few years, I have had the incredible privilege of working on a myriad of meaningful projects. As an event signage artist, I am constantly engaging with clients to make sure that whatever they have in their mind, I am able to make come to life. I’ve worked on signs for weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, and funerals. Read more>>

Anh Pham

My most meaningful project that I’ve ever worked on is my press and media coverage with the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin and Gemäldegalerie because I received a rare opportunity to cover famous artworks from old masters as a young artist. I had creative residency in Berlin, Germany under contract to write for an independent publication (Arkive.co) as an independent writer. Read more>>

Chris Ahlman

Last year in September 2022 I travelled to Nashville to record a new album of original music. For my last two albums I have been working with Grammy award winning songwriter/producer/teacher Cliff Goldmacher. This new one would be our third album together. Read more>>

Cydney Boudreaux

Recently I had a friend ( Jakari Lister ) reach out to me to be apart of a his movie. After reading the script and feeding ideas back and forth we agreed on the role of art director. Throughout the whole process I was just so amazed at the talent that he brought together and how I was able to help execute his vision and bring it to life. Read more>>

Sheldon Gomabon

I have been a performer all my life. From the plays I used to put on in my bedroom for my grandparents, to performing across the country in regional shows and tours, being on stage has defined my life. There was a moment while I was living in New York, doing a reading that I felt no personal connection to, when I asked myself, “how can I make art that has more of an impact within my own communities, and tell the stories I am passionate about sharing?” Read more>>

Aspen Debyah

Definitely my ongoing series, Controlled Chaos: Life Through the Terrarium Lens. So far, it is a 7-piece series of diamond-shaped handwoven wall hangings that focuses on the idea that society tells us to “be ourselves” but only if that version of us fits into a very specific and rigid, predetermined mould. Ultimately, for many of us, society dictates how we live our lives more than we do. Read more>>

Marcos Jimenez

Off Orbit, a band with no limitations as far as the music it can make, and open to write about any subject matter. Read more>>

Los Tripsters

This most recent album that we dropped January 21st night of the New Moon is a meaningful one for us. We had an intuition to take a step back from our usual style of jamming that we had grown very comfortable with and to hone in on our individual creativity in order to have new ideas to present. It was time to invite a new chapter of creativity into our process of writing songs. Read more>>

Tara Nantais

Every project I’ve worked on has a deeper meaning or story behind it. But, a project that really helped me transmute some of my hardest times into love and creation, is the butterfly piece. I call it “Beautifully Broken”. This butterfly resembles what looks like mosaic glass inside of each wing, with each piece of glass representing a tough moment I endured. Read more>>

For years, our slogan here at Keller’s is “Simple. Meaningful. So Dang Cute!”…so making meaningful projects is at the core of what we do. We focus our products to make them SIMPLE and of course, CUTE, so that anyone and everyone can take their photos and showcase them in a personal, meaningful way. Read more>>

Keith Anthoni

My most meaningful project was the “Make Me New E.P”. While making this E.P. I was just recently baptized at the time and met one of the most important people in my life that helped me find God again. During the time of recording the songs I was battling with my own convictions of my past. From selling drugs, being homeless, to my battles with depression and anxiety. I just wanted a new start and I was finally able to receive it after being baptized. Read more>>

NuSoul The Poet

So, it’s definitely my album “Formidable.” It was released last year in March, and was my very first full-length project. Up to that point, I had only ever done EPs (Welcome 2 the Dawn, Sapio in 2018), so approaching this project was super intimidating. But, growing up listening to classic albums from MJ to Prince to Earth, Wind, & Fire is what gave me the motivation to take the plunge anyway. Read more>>

Papi Grasa

My First official music video. It’s a tribute to my late grandmother Ms. Nebraska (ma ma). The song is titled “Gravy” where majority of the video takes place in the bathroom which a lot people found to be intriguing. Growing up I was always a kid who took my time doing any and everything moving at my own pace even when it came to using the bathroom. Read more>>

Mike Carter

The most meaningful project I’ve worked on is where I’m working currently at NEWM.io. We are empowering artist to be able to take more control over their career and their intellectual property by fractionalizing streaming rights and selling ownership. The back story: I have been in the blockchain industry since 2020 mostly as an investor but I was curious as to how this technology was going to apply to the music industry. Read more>>

Iván Díaz

In 2016 I collaborated with the Latino Leadership Institute as the lead photographer for a project titled: Bringing Colorado Leaders: Untold Stories of Latino Entrepreneurs. My work was displayed at the Space Gallery located at Denver’s Art District on Santa Fe where over 300 people attended throughout the evening! Read more>>

Janelle Frampton

Every piece of work I create is meaningful for me in its own way. It takes an immense amount of energy and effort into creating what you envision, that you can’t deny that you put a piece of yourself into that work, in an almost literal sense. I’m proud of all the work I’ve created, but as far as being the most meaningful…I’d have to say it’s a painting that I created after my father passed a few years ago. Read more>>
