This event provides access to information and skills specific to traditional and non-traditional arts-based career pathways and development for aspiring visual, performing, and technology arts students. Many students and their parents are simply unaware of the diversity that exists within arts-based careers. All to often, traditional expressions of creativity are connected to passion but not to careers, entrepreneurship, or financial stability. The goal of the NexGen Philadelphia Creative Career Seminar is to create an educationally engaging, fast-paced, creative environment that brings the idea of those connections into the reality of career pathways.
