THRIVE FEST 2024

Join Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC) for “Thrive Fest 2024 - Get Money! Strategies, Portals, and Cyphers for Abundant Brooklyn Futures” presented with BRIC Arts Media on March 23, 2024, from 12-7pm at BRIC Arts Media, 647 Fulton St, Brooklyn, NY 11217.

BAC’s Thrive Fest is the first and only day-long symposium dedicated to increasing financial, professional, and wellness best practices for the over 17,000 creatives who call Brooklyn home. Thrive Fest builds capacity, networks, and sustainable communities through four strategic objectives: Thriving, Justice, Creativity, and Wellness.

Thrive Fest 2024 will be a collective cypher on abundance. BAC is trading techniques and strategies for financial resilience; besting old models of surviving with new riffs on equity and sustainability; and responding to investing resources with calls for tools on income diversification and collective ownership. With a curated selection of funders, financial advisors and coaches, business leaders, and entrepreneurs, Thrive Fest attendees learn and exchange strategies, resources, and techniques for designing more lucrative and sustainable finances. Art activations and wellness installations woven throughout the day animate Thrive Fest with creative inspiration.

During the event, BAC will also be launching the Brooklyn Innovation Portal (BIP), a new interactive platform that will: connect artists to markets, audiences, patrons, collaborators, and each other; monetize creative services and content; and invest in Brooklyn neighborhoods by investing in Brooklyn artists.

• Keynote Ignition Talk with Cey Adams
• Thrive Talks
• One-on-One & Group Coaching Sessions
• Thrive Resource Lounge
• Professional Development Content Screenings
