Description:
If you’re an artist, you have a business. We want you and your art business to thrive.
In this interactive online workshop, a small cohort of artists across the disciplinary spectrum will meet weekly to identify our values, strengths, and goals and translate that into a healthy business model. This workshop is ideal for the emerging or established artist or cultural producer who is ready to level-up, make a better living, pay off debt, or pursue new income streams.
This training is a cohort learning model – participants are not anonymous watchers (think peer to peer learning and breakout rooms.) The relationships you build are an important part of the experience. Some content will be recorded, but your live participation is important.
In this virtual workshop, you will:
• Identify & affirm your core values, mission & goals.
• Gain confidence & skills in the business side of your art practice.
• Clarify & articulate your business model.
• Share knowledge & build supportive relationships with other artists.
Tuition: $75 for 10 hours (5 sessions) of instruction.
Time commitment: Expect to spend 2 hours/week in class, plus 1-2 hours/week reading and completing exercises from the Business of Art workbook. Only 20 seats available – first come, first served! Deadline to register is June 23rd!
