Creative work is difficult but necessary work. Getting to work in a creative field—whether it’s literature, visual art, photography, dance, or music—often means making unconventional choices to finding a path that allows for fostering your art. Join award-winning poet Ada Limón and Director of Public Art and Placemaking for the Hennepin Theatre Trust Joan Vorderbruggen for a discussion on risk-taking and making the difficult choices that lead to more creative agency.
