The “Artist As Entrepreneur” Program offers the fundamental principles of sustainability—and ultimately profitability—in the arts. This includes topics such as strategic planning, fundraising, and marketing, with additional material drawn from NYFA’s popular textbook "The Profitable Artist" (Allworth Press, 2018). The structure is a blend of formal lectures and breakout groups. Participants work through a flexible and dynamic “action plan,” which provides a blueprint for your practice or specific projects. Connect with other artists as you build the business skills essential to supporting your creative career.
