Share your experiences, exchange career tips and build your professional network in the arts -- all online! Virtual booths will allow you to chat with people in your field. You will be able to switch booths one time during the event. Industry booths will include Theater, Music and Dance; Visual Arts and Arts Administration; Creative Writing, and Film.

No matter where you are in the world, you can sign in from your home, office, or coffee shop. Online chats will allow you to make connections, ask questions, and share advice. Best of all, you'll end the session with new connections you didn't have before. You never know who you might meet.

Booths will include:

Theatre, Music, Dance, & Performing Arts Administration – Theatre professionals work in acting, directing, dramaturgy, playwriting, stage management, design, theatre management, and producing. Careers in music include composition, ethnomusicology, historical musicology, music theory, sound art, and music performance. Dance professions include dancer, dance instructor, choreographer, dance therapist, and dance company manager.

Visual Arts & Arts Administration - Artists, art historians, gallerists deal with work in a variety of mediums that include digital media, drawing, installation, moving image, painting, photography, performance, printmaking, sound art, and sculpture.

How It Works

Chats are text-based (no video) and timed (10 minutes)
Once you enter the live event, you will arrive in the virtual "Lobby." Click "View" to enter a booth, and make your status "Available" when you're ready to begin chatting. Next, go to the "Dashboard" located in the top right corner to see the chats come through.
