Network. Create. Transform.

Arts | innovation aims to connect arts and entrepreneurship at the uOttawa Faculty of Arts.

Join us for this event featuring keynote speakers and panellists with arts degrees — alumni, professionals, partners — who have gone on to become entrepreneurs or who have arrived at their current jobs via non-linear routes. Also on the bill:  a Dragons’ Den-style pitch competition!

Faculty of Arts students and graduates have the skills it takes to take on the world and to create their own future; they can think creatively and work hard to develop an entrepreneurial mindset, and even become entrepreneurs themselves. Learn how to turn your degree skills into a career while being inspired by arts graduates!
