April 9 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Join BOOST Co-Chairs, Jillian Vitko and Ayana Major Bey, in a workshop about how to succeed as a versatile and multi-hyphenate artist in today’s arts & entertainment industry (AKA how to keep yourself working as an artist!).
WORKSHOP DISCUSSION TOPICS INCLUDE: building an artistic ecosystem, broadening your artistic focus, taking on projects that complement each other and your various skills, and creating a world for yourself that doesn’t require someone else giving you permission to do it!
