CCI's signature Business of Art entrepreneurial training program is designed to enhance the business skills of artists and creative entrepreneurs working across the creative disciplines. Normally presented as a 10-week bootcamp for up to 24 artists, the program covers goal setting, marketing and promotion, strategic planning, financial management, legal issues, and funding your art business. Taught by arts business leaders with both commercial and nonprofit experience, the Business of Art curriculum is rooted in the idea that your art business is driven by two elements: your core values and the people who value what you do. 

This Business of Art Sampler Platter offers nutritious nuggets of learning from the Business of Art curriculum in three, easily digestible, 1-hour webinars led by contributors to the 3rd Edition of the Business of Art book.
