The Business of Art:
Entrepreneurial Training for Artists
If you are an artist, you have an arts business. Get the entrepreneurial tools and resources you need to sustain and thrive as an artist.
In weekly virtual seminars you will hear from experts in the field (many of whom are also practicing artists), exchange ideas and resources with your peers, and apply what you learn to growing your own arts business. In the final session, each artist will present their art business model and celebrate their accomplishment as a cohort.
