Jocelyn Goode ’03, award-winning artist, designer, educator, entrepreneur and community advocate — is building a multi-brand social enterprise that aims to address youth unemployment while increasing general access to the arts and preserving the cultural legacy of local communities experiencing gentrification. In this workshop you'll learn more about Jocelyn's work and her career trajectory, gain an understanding of creative entrepreneurship, and explore how to draw on your own skills to build the infrastructure for a creative career.

Jocelyn Goode has over 15 years of experience in fine art, curriculum preparation, program management, brand marketing, visual communication, event planning and youth development. She is building a disruptive business model with CultureCocoa ArtHouse, Inc. (CCAH) and The School of Creative Hustle. CCAH's main project is the Queens Hip-Hop Legacy Mural Series, and Goode is the lead muralist. Between 2015-2018, she has completed a total of 10 murals in NYC including the city’s first pop-up digital mural—an LED-lit public installation on display on Jamaica Ave.

Her current work entails an expansion to Philadelphia where she is creating new series of paintings that reflect nostalgia, love and Americana; producing online courses for The School of Creative Hustle ; and hosting Creative Soul Saturdays, an arts and crafts buffet for all!
