Creativity isn’t something only reserved for the creative department. What about letting those who actually run the businesses have a go at it, too? Art From the Unexpected is about challenging 20 of our industry’s leaders, who don’t typically get to be visually creative in their day-to-day, to create an original art piece. That’s not all. They will join us in presenting their one-of-a-kind creation to you.
What motivates these leaders to be creative? What will they create? How do they really think? How do they overcome creative challenges?
An event like this has never existed until now. All proceeds from sale of artwork go towards SKETCH.
