*Event will feature Founder/CEO as panelist and Deutsch Fellow as moderator*

Fractured Atlas has a [history](http://awards.fracturedatlas.org/) of supporting artist innovation and entrepreneurship — our mission is to remove practical barriers to creative expression, after all. We’re not alone: the arts and culture sector is a $699 billion industry, and arts-related businesses employ nearly 3 million American workers.

In this spirit, we’ve teamed up with the Congressional Arts Caucus and Public Knowledge to sponsor a conversation on Capitol Hill in celebration of arts entrepreneurship ([**RSVP here**](http://artsentrelunch.eventbrite.com)) on February 14. I will moderate a panel discussion with five entrepreneurs in the arts space — including our own Adam Huttler — who have disrupted the worlds of fashion, music, technology, animation, and design. Over a catered lunch, the panelists will discuss the challenges they’ve overcome, as well as policy opportunities to bolster the creative economy moving forward.

**Joining Adam at the event are the following entrepreneurs:**

Sarah Carson, Founder and President of [Leota](http://leota.com/)

Sriram Emani, Co-Founder and CEO of [Raga Labs](https://indianraga.com/)

Jess Peterson, CEO and Creative Producer of [Mighty Oak](http://www.mightyoakgrows.com/)

Erica Taylor, Co-Founding Partner of [Tinsel & TWINE](http://www.tinsel.nyc/)

The event, which we are hosting in conjunction with [Congressional Arts Caucus](https://artscaucus-slaughter.house.gov/) co-chairs Rep. Louise Slaughter and Rep. Leonard Lance, and in collaboration with [Public Knowledge](http://www.publicknowledge.org), will take place in Cannon House Office Building (Room 121) at noon on Tuesday, February 14.

We’d love to see you there! [Be sure to RSVP](http://artsentrelunch.eventbrite.com).
