Have you ever considered working for yourself? Entrepreneurship continues to be a viable option for performing arts and entertainment professionals looking to earn additional income. Let us help you get started.
During 2022 The Career Center will hold four webinars through our Creative Entrepreneur Project for performing arts and entertainment professionals looking to become independent creatives, consultants, freelancers, entrepreneurs and/or small business owners. These webinars will discuss the core factors every self-employed person must know as they branch out on their own.
In our second webinar, Skills and Expertise, we will explore:
- How to pursue, develop and utilize your skills to achieve your entrepreneurial goals
- How to manage the essential responsibilities of the Entrepreneur, Manager and Technician
- How not to do it alone; why establishing a community of support is crucial
About our Facilitator:
Lloyd Cambridge always wanted to start a business but lacked the confidence, resources and support to make it happen. Despite these roadblocks, he never stopped dreaming. After graduating from New York University, he spent his career supporting entrepreneurs and business owners as a business banker, teacher and public servant, but he knew he could do more. He eventually quit his job and started Progress Playbook, a business training and service platform for entrepreneurs. Lloyd was instrumental in developing our Creative Entrepreneur Project and has served as the principal educator for all our arts entrepreneur offerings since its inception in 2016.
About The Artist Exchange:
The Creative Entrepreneur Project equips performing artists and entertainment professionals with resources to successfully navigate the entrepreneurial journey and increase their income and independence through business ownership. Our Artist Exchange is a think-tank for creative entrepreneurs to identify, manage and execute goals.

Each session will offer a combination of brainstorming, education, peer accountability and support in a group setting to sharpen your business and personal skills.
