Artists as Entrepreneurs – “Strategies for Expanding Entrepreneurship in The Arts and Cross-Campus Collaboration”
Meet at 12:30 PM at Reception Desk
Location:
Cleveland State University, School of Film and Media Arts, 1375 Euclid Ave 6th floor, Cleveland, OH 44115
Description:
The arts contribute $764 billion to the U.S economy, more than agriculture, transportation, or warehousing. The arts employ 4.9 million workers with more than $370 billion in earnings and export $20 billion more than imports, providing a positive trade balance. This data confirms that the arts play a meaningful role in our daily lives, including our jobs, the products we purchase, and the experiences we share.[i]
The pre-conference workshop, Artists as Entrepreneurs, will provide a guided tour of Cleveland’s unique arts and cultural collaboration. The tour will feature the Playhouse Square, The Idea Center®, and Cleveland State University’s (CSU) School of Film and Media Arts. After the tour, you will learn how the arts contribute to Cleveland, Ohio’s knowledge-based and creative thinking economy.
Hear from a panel of subject matter experts who have integrated entrepreneurship into the arts programs at their universities. Workshop leaders will share their top strategies for expanding entrepreneurship and cross-campus collaboration in the arts and provide actionable insights.
