We want to inspire a passion about the ideas and processes of artists.

Artist INC, Spring 2020

Artist INC is a cutting edge training seminar that addresses the specific business needs and challenges artists of all disciplines face every day. Limited to 25 participants per session, artists gather for one night a week for eight weeks to learn business skills specific to their art practice and apply those skills cooperatively with their peers. Using an innovative class design, artists learn and grow together through artist facilitator mentoring, small group application activities, as well as large group discussion and multi-media lectures. Now in its eleventh year, the Artist INC workshop has been completed by more than 1300 regional artists.

Applications for the 2020 session are now closed. Stay tuned for information about our 2020 cohort’s final presentation celebration, currently scheduled for June 30th.
