The Creator’s Room is a series of intimate conversations discussing the behind-the-scenes journey of artistic work. These discussions, open to learners of all ages, highlight the variety of pathways to success in the arts. Our panelists and audiences explore their rights as creatives, as well as how to sustain a career as a performer, creator, or administrator. 

Each panel showcases up to 4 field experts providing detailed guidance on topics such as licensing, performing rights, music streaming, marketing, monetizing your talent, theater unions, artist memberships and more. Panelists will share their journey, provide useful resources, and answer any questions from the audience.
