Today, we are proud to revisit our conversation with John Chambers, the visionary behind the community arts and education organization BloomBars. We consider BloomBars a home for creativity and, thus, for creativists everywhere, and it is perfect for the Innovators Series.
Originally from Massachusetts, John graduated from Howard University and has an illustrious history as a global communications professional. He has worked on issues of national importance. He left that success behind, however, because he had a vision of a truly extraordinary organization, BloomBars. An award-winning Washington, DC, community arts nonprofit, BloomBars is a creative incubator—home and sanctuary to people of all ages and stripes.
John is also an incredible father, a passionate vegan, a creative writer, and a beloved advocate for the healing power of arts and community.
