OUR STORY
Creative Visions is inspired by the life of Dan Eldon, a 22-year-old Reuters photojournalist who was killed in Somalia in 1993. After his death, his mother and sister, Kathy and Amy Eldon, discovered 20 journals bursting with collages, reflecting his adventurous spirit and his life as a creative activist. A collection of Dan's journals, "The Journey is the Destination," has sparked individuals around the world to live more fully - with compassion and purpose.
Kathy and Amy founded Creative Visions in 1998 to support other creative activists who are using their creativity for good, just like Dan.
THE CENTER
Creative Visions is housed in The Dan Eldon Center for Creative Activism in Malibu, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. In addition to being our office, we also use the space to host salons, screenings, curated discussions and networking events. It's a hub of activity with visitors from around the world who connect with the Creative Visions team, young visionaries (interns), mentors and advisors, as well as an endless stream of creative activists and industry leaders from our Creative Activist Network.
Visitors are welcome to explore our light-filled gallery featuring Dan Eldon’s journals, photographs and limited-edition prints. Creative Visions opens its doors and patio for year-round events including our Summer Sundowner series. Modeled after an African tradition celebrating the sunset, our monthly Sundowners are entertaining gatherings that give our Creative Activist Network members the opportunity to connect.
