ABOUT THE EVENT

We are excited to invite you to Elevate! Diverse Founders, a cross-disciplinary event celebrating and supporting the entrepreneurial journeys of diverse artistic backgrounds, and underrepresented founders. Together, we'll explore the challenges, opportunities, and solutions involved in bringing creativity and artistry to life at UMD and beyond!

​The Fall 2024 event is a collaboration between the Dingman Center and Arts for All, and is open to students, staff, faculty, and alumni. This inspiring panel discussion will feature creatives and artists who have launched and supported businesses to monetize their artistry, either through their work or by offering goods and services rooted in their creativity.

​Following the panel, attendees will have the chance to connect with panelists in a casual community setting over light hors d'oeuvres, exploring how to take the next step in their own creative and entrepreneurial endeavors. Please join us on November 13th in Gildenhorn Recital Hall in The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center and note that registration is required!
