Face the Music is hosting a number of accessible workshops and career meetings for young folks entering the creative arts industry as well as welcoming those who want to further establish themselves. This year’s program features a diverse range of topics that include international touring, audience development, start-ups, fandom influence, creative funding, technology and social discussion around race, gender, mental health and well-being.
