Making Art, Creating Careers: Building Georgia’s Creative Economy

The myth that artists starting careers in the media and entertainment industries face a future of Ramen noodles and “would you like fries with that?” can persist despite pretty good evidence to the contrary.

It’s not true, for instance, that earning an arts degree fails to connect graduates with arts employment. A report by the Strategic National Arts Alumni Project found 80 percent of recent grads said their first job was “closely” or “somewhat closely” related to their field of training. And research reported by the Center for Cultural Innovation confirms more than 2.3 million Americans work full time as artists, a stable percentage of the total workforce. As many as 10 million adults earn income from doing creative work.

image002On April 5, 2017, CMII along with the student organization PEG (Panther Entertainment Group) co-hosted a panel in the Launch GSU incubator space on “How To Get A Job In The Music Industry.”  The panel included Neelam Thadhani (GM of DJ Drama’s Generation Now record label), Rebekah Baldwin (Kobalt Publishing), and DJ esudd (DJ/Producer/Artist Manager).  With approximately 70 students in attendance for this event, we considered it very successful. Moreover, the event was originally scheduled for an hour; however, it ran into overtime, and with post networking activity, it clocked in at two hours plus.  Both students and panelists were engaged and enlightened.  I look forward to hosting multiple similar events in the CMII space next year.
