Getting started in a creative business is exciting, a little terrifying, and sometimes confusing.

In this panel webinar, we’re chatting with some kickass creatives who have turned their creative practice into a flourishing profession. The focus of the webinar is — you guessed it — ‘what I wish I knew', as the panellists share their journey, learnings, and wisdom about creative self-employment with the new, young, and young-at-heart.

The panel features Extra Snazzy Chappies™ visual artist Bianca Beers, actor Moreblessing Maturure and actor/writer Nicholas Brown. They will share helpful hints, insights, and words of wisdom to help you find your feet as a creative business.
