Thriving Artists

#ThrivingArtists Network

CCA alumni are making careers of their artistic passions in all 50 states and around the world. We come together as one through #ThrivingArtistsNetwork, created by the CCA Advisory Board. Learn about these alumni, and begin to build your own business connections, by following #ThrivingArtist and #ThrivingArtists hashtags or the MiamiOHCCA social media pages on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or LinkedIn.

Join the Movement

If you are a CCA alumnus who would like to make a difference in the lives of current CCA students and recent graduates, we welcome you to join our organization! The vision for the #ThrivingArtist network involves establishing an engaged group of arts alumni in major cities in the U.S.

In joining this network, you agree to help a recently matriculated student who is moving to that city in a variety of possible ways: review a resume, allow for a job shadow, do an informational interview, buy the student a meal, etc. This network allows for both mentorship for students (as they begin their life after college) and for more active dialogue and collaboration between arts alumni in key metropolitan areas. #ThrivingArtist networking events are also held in those key metropolitan areas for members to connect, socialize and share resources.
