In this meeting of the Queens Podcast Lab‘s Learning Seminar, we will sit down with Rachel Skaggs, Lawrence and Isabel Barnett Assistant Professor of Arts Management at the Barnett Center for Integrated Arts and Enterprise at the Ohio State University.  She is an acclaimed sociologist of culture and cultural production, whose research focuses on the business of creation and how creators built livelihoods through their art.  She recently completed an analysis of how artists survived during COVID-19.

We will talk about:

• How artists build creative enterprises and livelihoods
• The challenges of transforming an artistic vision into reality
• The challenges of surviving as a creator when creative jobs are disappearing
• How she and her colleagues at the Barnett Center build professional creators
