The Department of Visual and Performing Arts at Daemen College has, for a long time now, been determined to provide graduates in the fine and performing arts with the skills needed to succeed as creatives. The growth of the start-up and gig economies, coupled with changes within the not-for-profit cultural sector, led us to design a new program that can provide students with both a deep foundation in the arts, and the skills needed to succeed as creative professionals
The LEA program challenges students to energize the creative economy with innovative new ideas. How can we make it more accessible? How can we make sure every voice is heard? This is the spirit of entrepreneurship, and it is underpinned by a relentless commitment to creativity.
