NYFA's ARTIST AS ENTREPRENEUR
BOOT CAMP

The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA)’s “The Artist as Entrepreneur: Boot Camp” is an intense 5 session course that trains 50-60 artists in the fundamental principles of sustainability – and ultimately profitability – in the arts. This includes classes on finance, accounting, law, marketing, and fundraising. The structure is a blend of formal lectures, breakout groups, take-home assignments, and one-on-one consultations.

“The Artist as Entrepreneur: Boot Camp” has earned rave reviews from participants and generating significant interest from the wider community. Participating artists have produced two arts festivals developing networks and opportunities that continue well beyond the close of the program.
