The Successful Artist: Building the Business of Creativity

For colleges or adults: classroom program, workshop or residency

So many aspiring artists leave countless roadblocks in their path by pretending that only art matters. Luckily, there can be great rewards in success instead of starvation, and technology offers a dizzying array of different paths and avenues towards that success as well as a suite of new definitions.

This workshop is packed with vital material for the artist who seeks a stable and sustainable long-term artistic satisfaction and success, and addresses many important aspects:

• Do you create art or help facilitate or distribute it? All are important roles!
• What fuels your art and creativity? How do you make time for that?
• Is full-time necessary?
• Building a solid business foundation to support your art
• Where's your market?
• Building a team and a network
• Developing short, medium and long-range plans for artistic success

Participants will have considerable opportunity to develop their own "career road map" through some interactive exercises as well group dialogue and questions. This is an excellent tool for anyone seriously considering finding part or full-time channels for their creative endeavors in art, film, music, or theatre.
