A Live Audience Creative Conference + Podcast Series In Cleveland, Ohio
Greyt Big Talk is an arts & entrepreneurship lecture series featuring personal stories and lessons from creative people. Talks are recorded before live audiences as a micro creative conference. Stories focus on the forces at play in the creative process as it arises in people who identify as artists, entrepreneurs, and many other fields. These testimonies and lessons dispel the notion that creativity is a capacity limited to a select few people, but rather a process that anyone can learn to help accomplish important things.
