Acclaimed vibraphonist\, educator\, a nd creative innovator Stefon Harris invites students into a conversation ab out how artists build sustainable and expansive creative lives.
Drawing from his work across performance\, composition\, education\, a nd music technology—including the development of Harmony Cloud—Harris explo res how artistic curiosity\, collaboration\, and listening can evolve into multiple creative pathways over time. Rather than focusing on “entrepreneur ship” in the traditional sense\, this session reframes the idea of the entr epreneurial artist as someone who builds ecosystems of creativity—connectin g artistic practice\, community\, innovation\, and opportunity.
Open to students from all disciplines\, this workshop is designed for anyone interested in creativity\, leadership\, collaboration\, and shaping meaningful impact through the arts.
