If you did not make it to this year’s “Opportunity Knocks” you definitely missed out! We had delicious food, drinks, and decor provided by Yoshis and wonderful advice and conversation provided by our guests and presenters!

 

“Opportunity Knocks” or “Opp. Knocks”, as most are starting to call it, is a speed dating meets networking event where emerging artists have 15-minutes to meet one-on-one with industry professionals to show their work, gather advice how to take their craft to the next level, or how to build an audience for their work. Music producers, entertainment and marketing specialists, fashion executives, record labels and art gallery owners donate their time to support up-and-coming artists. Artists are encouraged to bring their music, portfolios, scripts, apparel or other artistic medium for critique.
