Helping Creatives Explore the Business Side of Things.
Illini Art & Business Collective
Our Mission
IABC is UIUC’s first organization built to help creatives understand the business side of their work.
Many creatives are taught how to make work, very few are taught how to navigate careers, networking, and opportunities. At UIUC, creatives often find themselves unsure about where their skillsets fit in the professional world, especially in spaces dominated by business and technical thinking.
IABC exists to close that gap by helping creatives learn real world business skills through practice, experimentation, competitions, and sharing their work with the general public.
Our Three Pillars
Shape the Legacy.
You know how to create—we teach you how to negotiate, network, and lead. Fill out our membership form and come to our next GBM to see how IABC is changing the game for creatives across campus.
