🤝 How to make creative connections without awkward networking 1. Attend a workshop, exhibition, or local creative gathering. 2. Ask someone what they're working on. 3. Share an interest or project of your own. 4. Exchange contact information when the conversation feels natural. 5. Make plans to attend another creative event together. You don't need to know important people to begin building a creative community. Explore The Art Meetup: theartmeetup.com

YOUR CAREER DOES NOT HAVE TO MAKE SENSE IN A STRAIGHT LINE. A retail job can teach you client service. A freelance project can teach you production. A volunteer role can introduce you to an industry. A temporary job can become a relationship that changes your career. Pay attention to what each experience is building, not only what the title says.
