our collaboration
The SCALE Conference (Student Creatives and Artists Learning Entrepreneurship) began in 2024 as a collaborative effort among universities to equip emerging artists and creative students with essential business and entrepreneurial skills. Its mission is to bridge the gap between creative practice and sustainable professional success, offering workshops on topics such as branding, pricing, legal considerations, and financial management. After successful national gatherings in St. Louis and Kansas City, the conference continues to expand its reach. This spring, Student-Made is thrilled to host the first-ever regional version of SCALE, bringing the same spirit of creativity, collaboration, and entrepreneurial learning to our own campus community!
