A platform for presence. A movement for more.Built to honor the people behind the practice.
The First of Many (TFOM)began as a whisper—a question, really: What would it look like to build platforms that didn’t just include us, but were created by us, for us—rooted in our own definitions of success, artistry, and impact?
What started as an idea became a project, quickly evolved into a movement, and now stands as a full-fledged brand. TFOM is a living archive, a creative agency, and a cultural platform—all rooted in the belief that being the FIRST should never mean being the only.
What started as a one-off event became a movement. Then a platform. Now a full creative ecosystem.
TFOM is a creative agency and cultural platform that uses storytelling, community-building, and curated experiences to center the voices of Baltimore-based artists, creatives, visionaries and etc. Our work is rooted in legacy, driven by imagination, and powered by care.
We believe in building the kind of spaces we wish we had growing up—where your story matters, your dreams are nurtured, and your creativity is protected.
TFOM is not just about being the FIRST to do something—it’s about ensuring you’re not the last.
