Converging Practices: Arts, Creativity, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation
The 2025 Society for Arts Entrepreneurship Education Annual Conference aims to provide a platform for educators, students, artists, and entrepreneurs to come together to exchange ideas, gain new insights, and foster collaborations in the field of arts entrepreneurship education.
This conference will serve as a space for attendees to engage in thought-provoking discussions, attend informative workshops, and network with like-minded individuals. The primary goal of the conference is to promote and advance the field of arts entrepreneurship education. By bringing together a diverse group of participants, including experienced professionals and emerging leaders in the arts and business sectors, we hope to facilitate the sharing of best practices and innovative strategies for teaching entrepreneurship in the arts.
With the increasing demand for creative and entrepreneurial skills in various industries, arts entrepreneurs and educators must stay updated on the latest trends and developments in the field. The 2025 Society for Arts Entrepreneurship Education Annual Conference will provide a platform to address these topics and explore ways to incorporate them into arts entrepreneurship education. Furthermore, we aim to foster a community of like-minded individuals passionate about supporting the next generation of arts entrepreneurs.
Through networking events and interactive sessions, attendees can connect with peers and form collaborations that can lead to new opportunities and partnerships. Finally, the conference aims to inspire and empower attendees to embrace and promote the importance of arts entrepreneurship education. By showcasing successful case studies and stories, we hope to motivate and equip individuals to incorporate entrepreneurship into their arts education curriculum and to advocate for its importance in the broader education landscape.
We invite all attendees to join us in our mission to advance the field of arts entrepreneurship education and shape the future of the arts economy.
