Meet The Author

When: SUNDAY 4:30PM – 5:30PM

Where: Fort Lauderdale

 

Like many people, Evan Snow was just a regular guy, going about his life working a 9 to 5 desk job as a recruiter. At some point around the entrepreneurial awakening in 2014, he serendipitously began obtaining inspiration in the form of TED Talks and motivational speeches creating a desire to do more with his life. Once he received a spark in the form of some key “ah-ha moments”, Snow decided to step outside his comfort zone, making many pivotal choices along the way to find his hidden potential. Learning To Choose highlights 7 of these choices and the learning lessons that followed on his path to arts advocacy, community building, and creative entrepreneurship. The goal with sharing the stories within this book is to help inspire others to change their life, their community, and maybe even the world as a result of discovering the higher calling buried within all of us.
Join us on tour for an opportunity to meet “Learning To Choose” author Evan Snow, hearing more about his story, his arts advocacy initiatives, and learning lessons he acquired from seven key choices he made as an aspiring creative entrepreneur to help him reach his hidden potential – while helping you unlock yours.
Location – Zero Empty Spaces #29 Inside The Galleria Coporate Centre (Across From The Galleria Mall). Parking available in front, rear, and across the street of the building at the Galleria.
About the Author
Evan Snow is a local arts advocate, community builder, creative entrepreneur, and one of the proudest Broward County natives you will ever meet. That pride has led him to furthering the Choose954 social movement he created just a few short years ago to Cultivate Culture & Community in his native Broward County. Snow has worked diligently to create new initiatives for our community to highlight the local creatives he’s built relationships with over the years that deserve a platform to be showcased. These initiatives have included Art Fort Lauderdale – “The Art Fair On The Water”, Fort Lauderdale Art & Design Week, The Choose954 Local Artist Discovery Series, AAF CreativeZen, & Zero Empty Spaces among others.
