Personal Work: Art for fun, profit and whatever comes next

Adam J. Kurtz

Oct 21, 2:00 - 2:45 PM

Meridian Hall — Main Stage

When there’s no limit to what you can create, the hardest question isn’t how, it’s why.

Artist and NOW WHAT? author Adam J. Kurtz returns to DesignThinkers Toronto, sharing what happens when “be yourself” starts to actually work. With his signature heart, humour and anecdotes that will make you feel better about your own f’ed-up creative process, Adam connects personal expression to real-world success without pretending it’s a clean or linear path.

Let’s get personal:

  • Connect who you are to what you make and why it matters
  • Reframe the big questions around failure, change and the unexpected weight of success
  • Explore what profit really looks like — financial, creative and otherwise

This is a true story of growing from “popular online” to doing major client work, selling a million books and opening a retail business and the lessons, doubts and surprises along the way.
