Supporting student collaborations of creatives, innovators, and entrepreneurs.

Creatives 230 is a student-led, interdisciplinary experiential learning lab located in Business Hall 230 connecting creatives with entrepreneurs and innovators across the Rowan community. Recognized among AACSB's Innovations That Inspire for 2024, Creatives 230 bridges the gap between business and creativity, allowing students to share knowledge and collaborate, develop new ideas, and bring projects to life.

Where Creativity, Collaboration, and Opportunity Meet

Creativity allows us to approach problem-solving in new and unconventional ways, make unique connections between seemingly disparate ideas, and think outside the box. To be creative, a person must be able to come up with new ideas. To be innovative, they need to put these ideas into action. 

Creativity fuels the world, and entrepreneurship turns passion into possibility. Whether you’re an artist, photographer, filmmaker, journalist, storyteller, or content creator, an entrepreneurial mindset gives you the tools to make your passion sustainable while empowering you to seize opportunities, build your brand, launch projects, and make a lasting impact.

With an emphasis on CREATIVE collaboration, Creatives 230 offers:

• Portfolio, brand, and project consulting
• A hub for student-supported collaborations between creatives and entrepreneurs
• Dedicated art space in Rowan’s stARTup Gallery
• Workshops open to all students throughout the semester
