Designed to nurture the agency/autonomy/creativity and mobility of emerging artrepreneurs of ANY discipline, Chicago-based interdisciplinary artist and arts administrator Felicia Holman returns to CAC to present her visiting artist seminar, Crafting a Creative Career.

As a respected artrepreneurial resource within her intersecting communities, Felicia presents Crafting a Creative Career as an immediately-actionable knowledge sharing platform.

• “To Thine Ownself, Be True”: Communicating Internally
• Using Your Empathy Muscle
• Identifying Non-Negotiables
• Building & Maintaining Relationships
• Steering the Ship
• Framing & Messaging

Attendees will leave Crafting a Creative Career with tools & approaches to implement in:

• Enhancing personal/professional and organizational development
• Confidently owning and prioritizing their respective practices/processes
• Increasing authenticity & integrity in their audience/community engagement

Crafting a Creative Career is gleaned from Felicia’s recent professional development presentations for organizations and events including Illinois Humanities, Chicago Artists Coalition, Red Clay Dance Company and the sold-out inaugural Envisioning Equity Conference.
