MORE ABOUT OUR PANEL DISCUSSIONS
Navigating Conflict
Conflict is an inevitable part of collaborative creative work, but it doesn't have to be detrimental.
This panel brings together artists and professionals with contrasting views on handling disagreements in business relationships and creative projects.
Art & Money
Money matters can often feel like a taboo subject in the art world. This panel dives into the complex relationship between creativity and commerce.
Creative Burnout
The pursuit of creativity can be both exhilarating and exhausting. In this panel, we examine opposing perspectives on the phenomenon of creative burnout.
Cultural Revolution

KNOWLEDGE CAFÉ
The room is sectioned/organized around three key themes—DISCOVER, CREATE, and SUSTAIN.
Each facilitator will be stationed throughout the buildings, keeping small group discussion focused on the themes of the day.
Attendees wander freely between tables, join small group discussions, and engage directly with facilitators to ask the questions that matter most to you. Contribute your insights, adding to a collective documentation of our community’s ideas and solutions.
This setting fosters peer-to-peer knowledge sharing, helps you gain actionable insights tailored to your needs and ambitions, and provides valuable feedback that will shape future programs. It's an open forum to connect, learn, and grow alongside fellow artists and creative professionals.
Thanks to our partners at Steelcase, creatives, artists, and designers - whatever you prefer are welcome to attend at no cost.
