• Produce branded art events, masterclasses, exhibitions, and public engagement.
• Ensure world-class pedagogy and student results — including portfolio showcases, AR/VR art experiences, art therapy integration, and cross-discipline collaborations (film, storytelling, performance art, etc.).
• Support brand growth across new studios, media offerings, and online education.
