Who is Craig Rose?
Craig Rose, co-owner and founder of Nematic and Daisy Rose Galleries, is not just a gallery owner — he is a passionate advocate for Carmel's arts and its potential for transformative change. His determination to redefine the art landscape was evident as he introduced the avant-garde concept of Phygital art, seamlessly integrating digital and physical art experiences at Nematic and Daisy Rose Galleries.
Why is Craig Running for Mayor?
Craig Rose's journey in Carmel has been marked by challenges and a vocal stance on key issues. From speaking up for developer Patrice Pastor to calling for a "clean sweep" in the spirit of Clint Eastwood, Craig is committed to elevating Carmel's artistic identity. His recent endeavors have led him to become a familiar face at the Carmel City Council meetings, consistently challenging the status quo and advocating for necessary changes in leadership.
The Rose for Renaissance Campaign: Igniting Carmel's Tomorrow Today!
The Rose for Renaissance campaign is not just about a mayoral bid; it's a call to action for Carmel residents to own the ballot. Craig invites everyone to add their names to the positions up for election next November, ensuring that no one runs unopposed. The campaign tagline, "Igniting Carmel's Tomorrow Today," encapsulates Craig's vision for a dynamic, inclusive, and progressive Carmel.
Craig Rose is not merely a gallery owner but a passionate advocate for Carmel's arts and its potential for transformative change. His outspoken advocacy extends beyond the art world, as he now announces his candidacy for the position of Mayor in the upcoming election on November 5, 2024.
"Carmel needs diversity. Carmel needs change. It's time we stop 'wining' about the issues and start addressing them. Today, I am announcing my candidacy for mayor to bring a new vision, new energy, and a much-needed clean sweep to our beloved city," declared Craig Rose.
To facilitate this transition, Craig Rose and the Nematic team are in the process of signing over the original Nematic gallery space to one amazing talented artist who will launch a whole new experience in the Nematic space in January of 2024. Daisy Rose Gallery, led by Daisy Rose herself, will persist across from the new Toro dining room behind Nematic. Moreover, visionary artist Alex Shchebet is set to launch Carmel's first-ever inside-out gallery, creating a dynamic space for artistic expression.
As Carmel anticipates a renaissance in its artistic landscape, Craig Rose's mayoral candidacy is poised to lead this transformation. His commitment to fostering local talent, pushing boundaries in the art world, and advocating for a more inclusive and progressive Carmel positions him as a formidable force for positive change.
In conjunction with this, renowned designer Dan Harden, CEO, and founder of the esteemed Whipsaw design firm, is exploring a collaborative project with Craig Rose. Although still in the idea and dreaming stage, both visionaries are aiming to launch "The Dan Harden Gallery," an immersive experience blending innovative design and visionary art. Dan's paintings are currently for sale inside Nematic.
Adding to the cultural renaissance, Craig's former partner and daughter are poised to contribute to Carmel's vibrant arts scene. Magpie Mystics is set to open a mystical space in Carmel, where they'll continue to share their wisdom and contribute to the artistic spirit of the community. Craig plans to help transition many upcoming spaces that are ushering in a wave of new artists, as several gallery owners are retiring and closing down, making way for this new artist renaissance in the community.
