2021 Leadership Conference for Women in the Arts

Why is building your network important? It’s not just about finding a job. You always have to keep the long game in mind. Building a network takes time and relationship cultivation. You may need to rely on your network for mentorship, collaboration, creativity, a career move, or a place to tell your story. You many need human connection – especially during a time when we are replicating our lives in a virtual world. You will struggle in your career or your creativity, in either case, you need a place to plug-in and recharge. Your network can be that foundation that shores you up when you need it or catapults you when you’re fearful.
