Creative Entrepreneurship is a one-day symposium for emerging artists to learn essential skills about growing their career in the arts, from finances, to grant-writing, to attracting media to your event. Learning comes from young, experienced local artists like this year’s Keynote Speaker Sarah Anne Johnson, and panelists Freya Olafson, Mike Petkau and writer/graphic novelist Gmb Chomichuk.
Creative Entrepreneurship is aimed to emerging artists leaving post-secondary education and looking for practical skills on how to grow their arts career, post-university. The symposium is open to anyone with an existing arts practice including visual artists, actors, craftspeople, dancers, filmmakers, musicians, new media content creators and writers. A continental breakfast and free lunch are included for the low price of admission.
