On Friday, April 25, award-winning artist and RRC Polytech Advanced Graphic Design grad Roberta Landreth will be the guest speaker at CreativeMornings Winnipeg’s free event taking place at Launch Exchange (5th floor, 167 Lombard Street). All RRC Polytech alumni and community members are warmly invited to attend.

More than a decade ago, CreativeMornings was launched out of a desire for ongoing, accessible events for creative communities to connect. Today, these communities gather in 247 cities across more than 60 countries — including right here in Winnipeg.

The Winnipeg chapter of CreativeMornings not only celebrates our city’s creative talent, but also promotes an open space to connect with like-minded individuals. From marketing legends to hometown heroes, speakers are selected by each chapter based on a global theme.

April’s theme is CROSSROADS: we all reach turning points in life that change the course of our destiny – no wonder that in folklore and mythology, crossroads represent a gateway between our mortal coil and the supernatural realm. An in-between place of transition, where worlds collide, and anything can happen next. So, how do you decide which way to go next? Just pick what feels right. Because there’s no wrong choice. Only different journeys to where you’re meant to be.

A graduate of RRC Polytech’s Advanced Graphic Design program (2012), Roberta is a multiple-award winning artist and designer, working primarily in the music industry. Her designs are widely celebrated, notably earning a JUNO, four WCMAs, and two Covenant Awards. Roberta has worked on album artwork for more than 200 albums, as well as on posters, merch, and other graphics with artists such as The National, Luke Combs, Jully Black, Serena Ryder, the Bros. Landreth, William Prince, Dan Mangan, Natalie MacMaster, Big Wreck, Ani DiFranco, and many many more. She’s also worked on festival artwork for Winnipeg Folk Fest (including this year’s 50th anniversary artwork!) – and that’s just scratching the surface.

Join CreativeMornings Winnipeg on April 25 as Roberta shares her creative crossroad as a freelance designer and how she chooses an abundance mindset over scarcity (and how you can, too!).
