Join award-winning author Carolyn Dailey for an intimate evening celebrating her book, The Creative Entrepreneur, on Wednesday, October 7. Through candid conversations with some of today’s influential figures across fashion, art, design, film, and music, Dailey's book offers unparalleled wisdom from iconic artists and a rare behind-the-scenes look at how creative lives are built. From Little Island designer Thomas Heatherwick to fashion designer Roksanda Ilincic, learn how leading creators are shaping culture, influence, and the world around us. 

This engaging discussion will cover creativity, collaboration, mentorship, relationship-building, and what it means to navigate a modern creative life, paired with personal stories and practical takeaways you can apply to your own life. Whether you are just starting out or refining a well-established creative path, the evening promises a fresh perspective, meaningful inspiration, and an opportunity to connect. The event will conclude with an audience Q&A and book signing.
