ARTCRUSH! @ The CURIOSITY Bldg
ARTCRUSH! events are designed around short, one-on-one conversations inspired by the speed-dating format but with a focus on fostering community and business connections. Think of it as “art show mingling,” but with a system that sparks new, organic relationships. While ‘art’ is in the name, you don’t have to be an ‘artist’ to partake. Our events are open to anyone looking to build, collaborate, and connect. We can't wait to meet you!
Bright & Early: Jon Morgan

He'll share his entrepreneurial journey and experiences growing his business, including the wins and losses along the way. Going from unemployed to successful entrepreneur is no easy feat, and Jon will recount the highs and lows of running a niche production company for 10 years.
