A common misconception in the creative industry is that creativity is a unique talent. Newcomers and veterans alike shape their identities around ‘being creative.' Meanwhile, they struggle to flourish and perform in a world of clients, efficiency, budgets, and deadlines.

Diagnosis

At the heart of the problem lies toxic artistry. It is easily self-diagnosed using a simple test. Before the event, this test will be available for all participants. Within a minute or two, you’ll know whether or not you suffer from toxic artistry.

The cure

Thankfully, the cure to toxic artistry is hidden in plain sight. All we need is a nudge in the right direction and a deep look in the mirror. We’ll kickstart this process straight away during the event.

One-time presentation

This event takes place once, starting on Thursday, October 24 at 16:00 (4PM).
