How can artists and musicians turn local opportunities into meaningful careers and international success? In this interactive lecture, composer, scholar, and arts entrepreneur Diogo Carvalho explores the power of starting close to home — building relationships, recognizing opportunities, and creating value within the communities we already belong to. Drawing on his experience as Assistant Professor of Music Entrepreneurship and Technology at UNC Charlotte and founder and CEO of Global Arts United, Carvalho shares how local initiatives can grow into international artistic collaborations. The event includes a hands-on mini-workshop inviting students, artists, musicians, and community members to discover opportunities around them and imagine projects that can make a difference. Whether you're an emerging artist, an established professional, or simply passionate about strengthening your local creative community, this session offers practical inspiration for turning ideas into action.
