The Future of the Arts presented by the Leatherby Center for Entrepreneurship and Business Ethics is a dynamic panel bringing together performers, producers, designers, and creative entrepreneurs to reveal how they turned artistic passion into thriving, sustainable careers.

You’ll hear directly from alumni and professionals whose experiences span dance, production, directing, social media, nonprofit leadership, and global collaborations.

Join them Thursday, October 16 from 4:30PM to 6:30PM at The Leatherby Center, for Entrepreneurship and Business Ethics, 549 W. Palm Ave., Orange, CA 92868.

This event goes beyond inspiration—it’s a practical guide to what it takes to launch and grow your own creative practice. Panelists will share candid insights about freelancing, building organizations, navigating identity, balancing multiple roles, and adapting to opportunities across borders and industries. Expect to learn the mindsets, skills, and business approaches that drive creative success today.

Whether you’re a student, emerging artist, or established creative looking for fresh direction, you’ll walk away with practical strategies and real-world lessons you can immediately apply. You’ll also connect with peers and mentors who understand the challenges of building an artistic life while staying true to your vision.
