Cultivating Creative Spaces

Cocktails and Creatives, part of the Black Creative Economy Summit, is a series of intimate panel discussions featuring Black leaders from the Newark Arts community. These thought-provoking conversations offer a behind-the-scenes look at how these leaders’ foster growth and innovation in the arts. These panels highlight diverse pathways to success and the importance of building sustainable careers in the arts.

Throughout the Cocktails & Creatives sessions, our panelists drop invaluable gems on topics such as Creative rights, monetizing your craft, theater unions, artist organizations, and more. With up to four experts sharing their experiences, resources, and advice, these discussions serve as a powerful platform for learning and collaboration.

Join us as we celebrate and uplift the Black Creative Economy, while gaining essential insights to fuel your own artistic journey.
