City-sponsored Seminar for Artists: What Works? What Doesn't?

What do artists and entrepreneurs have in common? Everything.

Artists, just like traditional small business owners, have to wear many hats-creator, fabricator, accountant, marketer, technologist, and more. And, just like traditional small business owners, artists can find this to be a daunting task. How do some artists make the leap to sustainable and profitable artistic practices?  

Through their work with over 500 artists (from musicians, to writers, to painters, to filmmakers), the Artist INC team has identified the common behaviors of successful artist entrepreneurs. In this workshop they'll share those behaviors and leave you ready to apply them to your own art practice. The workshop includes discussion of:

  • Goal setting and planning
  • Portfolio careers
  • Communications strategy
  • Strategic networking
  • Financial planning

The last 30 minutes of the workshop is dedicated to audience needs, so bring your questions!
