As an artist, it can be difficult to balance growth with staying true to your creative passion. It's too easy to second-guess your instincts to experiment or take risks without wondering if you'll lose fans, funding or face public scrutiny.

This session will explore the journey toward creative freedom with creators who took risks to find true creative freedom and a pathway to ultimately make what they want to make.
