OCAD University's RBC Centre for Emerging Artists & Designers invites you to a panel conversation on Meaningful Collaborations for Creative Entrepreneurs, featuring Anna Peng and Reza Nik, moderated by Christopher Wilson.

What does it mean to build a creative business that feels alive like the humans that support it? A business that moves and shifts in relationship with others? How do we design partnerships that feel like “making friends”, where collaboration becomes a process of mutual becoming, not competition? This conversation explores meaningful collaboration as a living practice: a way of making and organizing that blurs the lines between creative entrepreneurship and community.

Through this, we hope to reimagine business as a relational practice grounded in community, care, and the courage to do things differently. We can begin to think about collaboration not as a strategy, but as a way of being.

 

Refreshments will be available.
