Being about 'the creative work', the Creative Talent Network eXpo brings together a hand picked group of vendors, artists, studios, and schools to connect, educate, share, celebrate, and explore the possibilities of the community and the industry.
Aside from masterclasses and one-on-one meetups, there is an educational element like none other that includes career and portfolio review meetings, ask-me-anything, screenings, interviews, lectures, presentations, breakfast and after hours forums for networking. They also include up and coming NEW talent alongside industry professional guests in their exclusive interactive showroom. Are you new? Let us know CTN Foundation Artist Exhibitor Award.
