And when we get the the chance to move our conversations out of the inbox and into the world IRL is when the best ideas are birthed. - **Visiting Our Artist Community—**Our network of independent artists is now many thousands strong, which is incredible for constantly invigorating the breadth and dynamism that we can bring to any project, anywhere. So when we get the chance to say hello to the creative talent that helps give our company purpose, we jump at the chance. This time, we’re excited to visiting three in the very heart of their creative practice: the studio. - **Celebrating Victories—**Getting together is a chance to raise a glass and get excited for all that we’ve each accomplished since the last time we got together. This time, we’re looking forward to acknowledging the accomplishments of [Boutique Design’s 18 Boutique Winners](https://www.boutiquedesign.com/news/boutique-design-reveals-2019-boutique-18-winners), recognizing some of today’s brightest stars in hospitality interior design, as well as panelists from the [Women Leaders in Hospitality Panel Discussion](https://www.boutiquedesignwest.com/women-leaders/). - **Getting Creative—**As specialists who help others curate art, buy art and sell art to help bring spaces to life, we’re always focused on keeping our creative engines purring so that our amazing team of [award-winning curators](https://discover.indiewalls.com/connectwithacurator) can help bring the same inspired gusto your projects. It’s amazing, but sometimes a simple change of scenery and meeting with new minds can do wonders for lubricating one’s creative muscles. So, bring your ideas—we’re ready to bring our creativity. - **Ummmm, it’s Los Angeles**—need we say more? #WorkHardPlayHard  Have a Project in Mind? Indiewalls helps interior designers, brands, and real estate developers discover, purchase, and commission art from independent artists.
